ARCTIC MONKEYS "tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino"

Spotify listen...

I listened to this, their sixth album, last week and didn't like it but I didn't know why...
and I needed a reason to not like it even though I'm not a fan of the band...
so, I listened again and it all makes perfectly sense now...
I love it!
hearing hints of psychedelia, jazz, alt pop...
hearing sounds of Edwynn Collins from UK 1980s band Orange Juice...
also hearing Aussie band Flash And The Pan...
a real surprise for me to like one of their albums....
unfortunately my favourite track isn't available (the worlds first ever monster truck front flip) so here is the single:



"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..."  -  Me 2014.

Don't know this band so I listened a little bit - probably not gonna be for me, but I thought I heard vestiges of a Bowie sort of sound going on.

they've actually come a long way musically since their debut Ruby:
I still like this track though I'm not a fan...
