August 10, 20222 yr Author I think they probably just like the mysterious element of it, I wouldn’t be surprised album gets released without any announcement. (Some “well-regarded” leakers are saying October though)
August 11, 20222 yr Doing 7 stadiums in May & June next year in the UK. Guessing the album might not come out in 2023, could see a Jan/Feb release.
August 11, 20222 yr Ooh where have you seen that? I know someone who knows his stuff. Not sure when the announcement is going out, but can't be too far away. Suspect they might be playing Glastonbury judging from the dates I've seen, so might be tied in to that too.
August 23, 20222 yr Author New song alert!!!!! Insiders are suggesting that it’s titled “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am”, it’s not the lead single, and the album will be announced tomorrow. Very very funky :wub: NDTOFoVCadc
August 24, 20222 yr Author Rumours going around that the new album is titled “The Car”, I’ve also seen the lead single described as ‘“poppy”.
August 24, 20222 yr Author Strong rumours that: - The album “The Car” will be released on October 21st - Lead single “There’d Better Be a Mirrorball” will release on Tuesday. Let’s see what comes true then :lol:
August 24, 20222 yr Author It’s very very clear at this point that they don’t care about the charts :lol: It would have been nice though haha, but I think whatever they release will be massive if it’s somewhat commercial sounding.
August 24, 20222 yr oh now I remember that after the 1st comeback gig in Turkey there were already rumours the first single or the album was gonna be called Mirrorball cos they had a mirrorball onstage or something and also they posted mirrorball emojis on twitter or something

August 24, 20222 yr “I think we’ve got closer to a better version of a more dynamic overall sound with this record,” Turner told The Big Issue. “The strings on this record come in and out of focus and that was a deliberate move and hopefully everything has its own space. There’s time the band comes to the front and then the strings come to the front.” A press release states that: “following 2018’s ‘Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino’, ‘The Car’ finds Arctic Monkeys running wild in a new and sumptuous musical landscape and contains some of the richest and most rewarding vocal performances of Alex Turner’s career.” Written by Alex Turner, ‘The Car’ was produced by James Ford and recorded at Butley Priory, Suffolk, La Frette, Paris and RAK Studios, London.

August 24, 20222 yr The indie versions ‘Custard Vinyl’ - available at most indie stores - https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/arctic-monkeys/the-car/lp-plus
August 24, 20222 yr unsure between the Grey and the Mustard vinyl variants, think the custard one looks nicer but the grey one is gonna be more rare
