The Car CD
Arctic Monkeys’ The Car (2022) is a cinematic, moody masterpiece that sees the band further refining the sophisticated, orchestral sound they introduced on Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.
Their seventh studio album, written entirely by Alex Turner and produced by longtime collaborator James Ford, trades in the stadium-rock swagger of their earlier work for something more introspective and noir-inspired.
From the sultry strings of “There’d Better Be a Mirrorball” to the slick funk grooves of “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am,” the album is filled with lush arrangements and haunting melodies. “Body Paint” builds to a dramatic crescendo, while “Hello You” adds a hypnotic, lounge-like atmosphere. Turner’s lyrics are as poetic as ever, weaving themes of nostalgia, heartbreak, and existential longing into every track.
Recorded across three stunning locations—Butley Priory in Suffolk, La Frette in Paris, and RAK Studios in London—The Car is an album of elegance, depth, and surprising turns. It’s Arctic Monkeys at their most refined, yet still full of mystery.
