Drummer Helders previously revealed the Brianstorm rockers – which also call Jamie Cook, Nick O’Malley as members – were in the ‘early stages’ of trying to ‘write a [new] record’, but were ‘faced with various obstacles’ amid the pandemic. Turner and co were reported to have stayed at Butley Priory, a former gatehouse to an Augustinian monastery, while they worked on their hotly-awaited follow-up with drummer Matt Helders saying in late 2021 the band’s new record, their seventh, was ‘pretty much’ finished and, as he said at the time, likely to arrive before the 2022 tour began. Butley Priory itself had previously let slip in a since-deleted blog post on their website the band was holed up recording the album there, writing: ‘We’ve had a band staying with us for the last month recording an album.

It's been a long time coming but Arctic Monkeys have finally arrived with a new track and a peak at what their seventh chapter may sound like.

However, last night at the Zurich Openair festival in Switzerland, ‘I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am’ made an appearance and bedlam ensued. The band guys from Sheffield delivered ‘I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am’ and the fandom went into pandemonium. The seventh album has been touted for some time now with confirmed recording sessions being logged so many months ago that we began to question their validity.

Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner has said in a new interview Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones inspired the band's forthcoming album, 'The Car'.

“We went there in the summer, took all the equipment, got the raw material and then took it on elsewhere.” “This time has passed over the last few years and certain things don’t feel the way you expected them to anymore. In the piece, Turner discusses how they retreated to rural Suffolk to record their seventh album, and likened it to methods used by legendary bands of yesteryear.

The unexpected announcement of their seventh studio album comes four years after the release of their last studio album Tranquillity Base Hotel and Casino.

In that way, it does all feel like it's connected to us 20 years ago in the garage when it was pure instinct.' 'The strings on this record come in and out of focus and that was a deliberate move and hopefully everything has its own space. Alongside some album artwork shared to Instagram, the band penned: 'The new album from Arctic Monkeys, 'The Car' is out 21st October.

The Sheffield heroes return to the UK to headline this weekend. Our columnist looks to history for some tips on becoming legends of the fest.

There’s history to be made here: we’re talking [Kate Bush](https://www.nme.com/artists/kate-bush) or bust. [Macca versus Bruce at this year’s Glastonbury](https://www.nme.com/reviews/live/paul-mccartney-live-at-glastonbury-2022-setlist-photos-review-3255717), the surprise guest bar has been significantly raised. These days the truly legendary festival sets push the boundaries of what’s technically possible at a big gig in a field. Surely it’s time to utilise the most cutting-edge digital-mapping app technology to light up everyone’s phones in spectacular patterns a la Considering the lunar lounge theme of the Monkeys’ last album, [‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’](https://www.nme.com/reviews/arctic-monkeys-tranquility-base-hotel-casino-review-2306655), I’d suggest floating down from the rafters in astronaut suits fitted with cravats and pocket squares. For maximum R&L myth-making, you need an onstage image that will be burned forever into the retinas of anyone lucky enough to see it. The days of just popping to the dressing room next door and offering the singer of an earlier band a couple of lines to hang about for your encore are long gone, and [Miles Kane](https://www.nme.com/artists/miles-kane) is definitely not going to cut it. To be fair, bar [‘Potion Approaching’](https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-arctic-monkeys-play-potion-approaching-for-first-time-since-2010-at-istanbul-gig-3286456), the Monkeys’ festival sets of late have stuck fairly solidly to this ethos – but remember, the odd homecoming treat of ‘Fake Tales Of San Francisco’ or ‘When The Sun Goes Down’ is nothing to be scared of when striving for R&L glory. You want to make 25-year-olds ecstatic at finally getting to see you live, 35-year-olds relive their prime party years to cries of “go on, just a nibble” and R&L’s regular audience of 16-year-olds get flashbacks to the simple childhood days before the divorce. It might seem like the most obvious festival set cliché in the world, but it’s effective simply because so few acts actually do it. Arctic army, by your beds.

AM also marked a significant departure from the frenzy and heaviness found in their earlier works, trading in raucousness for a stylized “cool” air. “But there are riffs in there and [it’s] a bit more up-tempo, even though it’s not loud. It’s hard to explain!” Prior to the release of Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, Arctic Monkeys reached new highs in their career with 2013's AM, solidifying their place in modern rock and heavily influencing an entire generation of teens who sported soft grunge aesthetics and spent their time on Tumblr. Per the album’s press release, The Car will showcase “Arctic Monkeys running wild in a new and sumptuous musical landscape” and promises “some of the richest and most rewarding vocal performances of Alex Turner’s career.” During a recent set at the Zurich Openair festival in Switzerland, Arctic Monkeys debuted the song “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am,” which has been [described](https://consequence.net/2022/08/arctic-monkeys-i-think-i-am-at-zurich-show-watch/) as a “groovy, bass-heavy number” akin to their more previous work.

The seventh record from Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys will arrive this October.

We are back to Earth.” Speaking on the sound of The Car, the frontman continued: Ardent fans may be holding on to the guitar-heavy heyday of Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, but The Car is looking to follow in the sonic footsteps of its last predecessor. (We’d say it’s one of their best, but that’s for another conversation.)

People often talk about second album syndrome, and the pressures that follow a great first record. Often it can overshadow conversation around the debut ...

You hear the rattle of the steel train that opens the record, along with the cassette tape hissing the verse from a teenage Nasty Nas on Main Source’s 1991 track “Live at the BBQ”: ‘When I was 12, I went to Hell for snuffing Jesus.” Sex and hedonism are everywhere on this record, from “Venus in Furs” to “Run Run Run”, but it’s not so much glamour as glam rock – gritty tales of drug addiction and raw desire. The things he witnessed and experienced were poured into Ready to Die – one of the best debut albums in hip hop – delivered in his signature throaty vocals with wit and humour. Beastie Boys' Mike D, Ad-Rock and MCA would move on from the frat boy humour and “good time” attitude of Licensed to Ill, but it is that record that delivered rap against a backdrop of Led Zeppelin and James Brown-inspired guitar licks. Slash’s guitar and Axl Rose’s wild, animal howls contribute to the raw energy on songs like “Paradise City” and marked a dramatic shift away from the commercialised heavy rock that was being played on MTV at the time – proudly championing a gritty form of hedonism instead. At the heart of the record is a blistering duet with the Notorious BIG, “Brooklyn’s Finest”, which practically heralded the shift of focus back from West Coast hip hop to the East. Kendrick Lamar subtitled his debut record “A Short Film by Kendrick Lamar”, and indeed it feels as though you’re watching the movie of his early life – such is the autobiographical nature of this record. Yet it’s hard to deny the impact Is This It had on rock music – critics have argued that the Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand wouldn’t have existed if not for this band. Yet had Grace been the only material ever released under his name (live recordings, covers and demos were released posthumously), it would have been enough to prove he was a rare and exceptional talent. Definitely Maybe was exciting, aggressive and loaded with attitude: a 22-year-old Liam Gallagher spits and snarls over the reverb-soaked guitars of “Cigarettes & Alcohol”, and soars on that falsetto for “Live Forever”. The band themselves called it “music for girls to dance to”. More than trendsetters – the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were the brains behind the smartest album of that year.
