Getting into the new dream car
ARCTIC MONKEYS
“The Car”
Album (Domino)
already published

A car in the middle of architecture, without a soul in sight, adorns the cover shot by Matt Helders, the ten compositions of the seventh album are all the more animated. The rich arrangements skillfully draw focus to the band, strings and those parts where they come together. Especially “Body Paint” plays off these elements charmingly, as does the gripping title track “The Car”. With weighty atmosphere, “Sculptures of Anything Goes” leaves an impression. The strong compositions and Alex Turner’s emotional vocals take you on an enriching sonic journey, with “Perfect Sense” as the crowning finale.
