The Car

Album

After recording The Car, there was, for “quite a long time, a real edit in process,” Arctic Monkeys leader Alex Turner tells Apple Music. Indeed, his UK rock outfit’s daring seventh LP sounds nothing if not composed—a set of subtle and stupendously well-mannered mid-century pop that feels light years away from the youthful turbulence of their historic 2006 debut, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. If, back then, they were writing songs with the intention of uncorking them onstage, they’re now fully in the business of craft—editing, shaping, teasing out the sort of sumptuous detail that reveals itself over repeated listens. “It’s obviously 10 songs, but, even more than we have done before, it just feels like it’s a whole,” he says. “It’s its own.” The aim was to pay more attention to dynamics, to economy and space. “Everything,” Turner says, “has its chance to come in and out of focus,” whether it’s a brushed snare or a feline guitar line, a feathered vocal melody or devastating turn of phrase. Where an earlier Monkeys song may have detonated outward, a blast of guitars and drums and syllables, these are quiet, controlled, middle-aged explosions: “It doesn't feel as if there's too many times on this record where everything's all going on at once.” On album opener “There’d Better Be a Mirrorball,” Turner vaults from a bed of enigmatic, opening-credit-like keys and strings (all arranged with longtime collaborator James Ford and composer Bridget Samuels) into scenes of a prolonged farewell. So much of its pain—its romance, its dramatic tension—is in what’s not said. “The feel of that minute-or-so introduction was what feels like the foundation of the whole thing,” he says. “And it really was about finding what could hang out with that or what could be built around the feel of that. The moment when I found a way to bridge it into something that is a pop song by the end was exciting, because I felt like we had somewhere to go.” For years, Turner has maintained a steady diet of side work, experimenting with orchestral, Morricone-like epics in The Last Shadow Puppets as well as lamplit bedroom folk on 2011’s Submarine EP, written for the film of the same name. But listen closely to The Car (and 2018’s Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino before it) and you’ll hear the walls between the band and his interests outside it begin to dissolve—the string arrangements throughout (but especially on “The Car”), the gently fingerpicked guitars (“Mr Schwartz”), the use of negative space (the slightly Reznor-y “Sculptures of Anything Goes”). “I think I was naive,” he says. “I think the first time I stepped out to do anything else was the first Puppets record, and at that moment, I remember thinking, ‘Oh, this is totally in its own place and it's going to have nothing to do with the Monkeys and what that was going to turn into.’ And I realize now that I don't know if that's really possible, for me anyway. It feels as if everything you do has an effect on the next thing.”

Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino

Album

As Alex Turner sat at home in Los Angeles writing at the piano he’d received as a 30th birthday present, he wasn’t sure if the songs that were coming out of him were for Arctic Monkeys or a different sort of project. They certainly didn’t sound like anything the Sheffield quartet had just finished touring the world with. This was music that shook off the futuristic blend of rock riffing and R&B-ish grooves that underpinned 2013’s AM in favor of something altogether more retro and lounge-y. But upon hearing demo versions of the songs that Turner had fleshed out on an eight-track recorder, his bandmates convinced the frontman that this was where they should be heading next. Arctic Monkeys were about to embark on their most cosmic adventure yet. In the same way that AM established that the four-piece were no longer drawing inspiration from street-level shenanigans around Sheffield, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino cast aside the notion of Arctic Monkeys as the next superstar purveyors of anthemic indie rock, mainly because there was zero sign of any anthemic indie rock on this sixth album. In its place was something more daring and ambitious. Not since Radiohead followed up OK Computer with Kid A had a Glastonbury headliner-level guitar band so deliciously wrong-footed their audience. Much in the same way that Thom Yorke’s band had transformed, Arctic Monkeys had found a new sound that was an effortlessly natural fit. Throughout the record, Turner excels in his role as the louche, wry piano-playing narrator at the center of these songs, the music around him gliding from hazy funk to psychedelic soul, with the crackled groove of ’70s film soundtracks here and a ’70s classic rock sway there. Recording AM, the group had wanted to evolve beyond sounding like four people playing the same traditional instruments together and here they broke another rock band norm, enlisting a rabble of friends and musicians, including producer James Ford, Tame Impala bassist Cam Avery, and former Klaxons frontman James Righton, to contribute to recording sessions at La Frette, a residential studio on the outskirts of Paris. There was a spirit of collaboration at the heart of these songs, something that gives Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino its bewitching sense of constant movement. “Intermittently, you go between this idea that, ‘Oh, it still sounds like the band has got something else about it,’ and an uncertainty about how it’s going to be received,” Turner told Apple Music in 2022 about this evolution of sound. “But through the process of going between those two things, that idea is compounded. Where do we fit these songs into the show that is put together from all these other records from the past? How is that going to work? How [is] this thing that feels like it has a lounge-y jazz sample thing going to hang out with the rest of the things on the set list? But you find a way and, by the end of it, the songs all make their little adjustments and you find a through line.” They may have taken a risk but they got the rewards. The record went to No. 1 in the UK album charts and made the Top 10 in the US Billboard chart. A concept album telling the tale of a futuristic colony on the moon, like all the best sci-fi, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino has escapism at its heart. It was the sound of Arctic Monkeys leaving themselves behind. A dramatic reinvention had paid off.
