Ahead of their Sunday headline set at Electric Picnic this Sunday, Arctic Monkeys have released the first song from the forthcoming album The Car which was announced last week.
‘There Better Be A Mirrorball’ is a song that operates with a late-night tempo, a slow song with big strings and a lounge-leaning feel to it, so not a million miles from 2018’s album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.
Watch the video, directed by Alex Turner.
