The Arctic Monkeys have announced the release of their seventh album The Car, on Friday the 21st of October on Domino, the followup to 2018’s Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino.
The album features ten new songs written by Alex Turner, produced by James Ford and recorded at Butley Priory, Suffolk, RAK Studios, London and La Frette, Paris.
The announcement comes ahead of the band’s performance at Electric Picnic next week, and the band debuted one of the songs ‘I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am’ in Zurich this past week, which has loose psych funk vibes.
