Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys play their first headline show in the US since 2018 at Brooklyn's King Theater introducing new tracks from 'The Car'

[‘I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am’](https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-arctic-monkeys-debut-a-new-song-i-aint-quite-where-i-think-i-am-live-at-zurich-gig-3296214), a fresh track from ‘The Car’ the band has only played a handful of times is met with familiarity in the tight-knit crowd. The evening feels like evidence of a few truths. As the track’s title rings through the historic theatre at the final refrain, a massive disco ball lowers from the ceiling, transforming the Brooklyn venue with the flickering lights of a ’70s lounge. The forward-facing moment quickly falls backwards into ‘Brianstorm’, ‘Potion Approaching’ and ‘That’s Where You’re Wrong’, distracting fans with the Monkeys’ stacked discography before there’s time to overthink the new track. Moments after the band walks onto the stage to the applause of 3,000 punters, the mood is set. “Don’t get emotional, that ain’t like you / Yesterday’s still leaking through the roof”, Alex Turner sings to the delight of onlookers.
