Arctic Monkeys finally announce new album ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’

The highly-anticipated album is the follow-up to 2013’s AM, which received praise from critics and a somewhat divided response from fans given the different direction the band took with their sound on the record. The new album, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, was recorded in LA, Paris and London with production taken care of by James Ford and Alex Turner, and is the first new material from the band in five years.

 

Rumours surrounding the record have been fuelled by recent news of a vinyl reissue of Arctic Monkeys’ debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. Now that new material has officially been confirmed, we can only hope Australian tour dates (possibly filling the Splendour-sized gap in their touring schedule) will follow.
