The iconic band Arctic Monkeys is releasing their newest album, The Car, on October 21st.
October 21st is quickly becoming the most highly anticipated day for music we have seen in 2022. Swifties have been counting down the days until the realse of the mega-hyped Taylor Swift album Midnights drops at the stroke of twelve. Now, fans of Arctic Monkeys have a reason to celebrate as well. The band will be releasing their newest album,The Car, on the same day.
The Car will be the seventh studio album that the group has released, and fans are eager to listen to it while they drive (and anywhere else they may go.) A few of the songs that will be featured on the album have already been released including, There Better Be a Mirrorball, I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am, and Body Paint.
While the album will be released tomorrow, music critics have already gotten their ears to the work and are loving it. According to Matthew Strauss's review on Pitchfork:
The Car, their seventh studio album, is filled with detours, non sequiturs, and lost trains of thought, held together by Turner's undulating vocal lines and an orchestra always at the ready like a wind-up toy waiting to be stirred to life. But, as with its predecessor, the more time you spend in its maze, the clearer its themes become: The Car is an album of love, longing, and doubt, and the obfuscation serves to bolster its core belief that the simplest truths are the hardest ones to discover.
We can't wait to listen for ourselves. The Car comes out tomorrow, October 21st.
