The Car

Release Date: October 21, 2022

Arctic Monkeys' The Car (2022) wraps indie rock in lush orchestral arrangements and lounge-influenced grooves. The album moves between intimate piano ballads and funk-driven tracks, with Alex Turner's vocals floating over string sections and jazz-tinged instrumentation.
