Keeping with the theme of inspirational British artist’s from South London to Sheffield, are the Arctic Monkey’s with their recent album “Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino” in particular the opening song “Star Treatment. From the American pop sounds of “AM”, the transition for Alex Turner and the Arctic Monkey’s has been drastic in terms of their overall sound. Lyrically, this new album stay’s with the notion of love, but some aspects explain the regret’s of Alex Turner, especially in this opening tune. “I just wanna be one of the strokes” it is evident that “The Strokes” were a big inspiration not only for Alex, but the band as a whole unit. This song scream’s Bowie and is a very well constructed, thought provoking 6 minutes of music.
“What do you mean you haven’t seen blade runner?”
