Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino is the record where Arctic Monkeys swapped stadium riffs for a piano, a velvet jacket and a lounge bar on the moon, here on CD.
Arriving in 2018, five years after the global success of AM, it caught plenty of listeners off guard. Alex Turner wrote much of it at a piano at home, and the band followed him into a world of retro-futurist crooning, science-fiction satire and wry commentary on technology, politics and fame. It was a bold move for a band that could have made AM part two and filled arenas regardless.
"Star Treatment" opens with Turner casting himself as a slightly washed-up rock star, a knowing setup for everything that follows. The title track glides along like an advert for a hotel from the future, while "Four Out Of Five" adds a slinky, irresistible chorus about a rooftop taqueria with excellent reviews.
"One Point Perspective" and "American Sports" lean on rolling keys and warm, vintage tones, with James Ford co-producing alongside Turner. The arrangements feel loose and lounge-like, yet every detail is carefully placed.
Divisive at first, it has aged into one of the band's most rewarding listens, a late-night album that keeps revealing new jokes and new melodies with every spin.
