Sobre el álbum

El sexto álbum de estudio de Arctic Monkeys, "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" fue lanzado al mercado el 11 de mayo de 2018 por el sello Domino, cinco años después de su anterior trabajo, titulado "AM". Con producción de James Ford y Alex Turner, el álbum fue creado por el líder del grupo, Alex Turner, quien lo compuso con un piano en su casa de Los Angeles.

Este álbum de Arctic Monkeys supone un giro en el estilo musical de la banda, con un mayor protagonismo para el piano, menos uso de guitarras y piezas un tanto oscuras y con cierto misticismo en un álbum muy personal que fue valorado positivamente por la crítica ante lo arriesgado de la apuesta musical de la banda.

El primer sencillo del álbum, "Four Out of Five", fue lanzado el 13 de mayo de 2018. Compuesto por Alex Turner y con producción del propio Turner y del colaborador habitual en los últimos trabajos de la banda, James Ford, la canción es una pieza de glam rock, con letras sin mucho sentido que describen un puesto de tacos ubicado en la azotea de un hotel.

El vídeo musical que acompaña al sencillo fue dirigido por Ben Chappell y Aaron Brown y en él se puede ver a Alex Turner asumiendo las funciones de un director cinematográfico, mientras se ruedan varias escenas.

El segundo sencillo y que da título al álbum es el "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino", lanzado el 23 de julio de 2018. El tema vino acompañado por un videoclip dirigido, al igual que el anterior, por Ben Chappell y Aaron Brown, con imágenes de un hotel con casino en el que supuestamente vive Alex Turner. En el vídeo podemos ver a Turner recorriendo las diferentes plantas del hotel y realizar funciones de recepcionista.

  1. Star Treatment5:55
    vídeo del tema Star Treatment
    I just wanted to be one of The Strokes Now look at the mess you made me make Hitchhiking with a monogrammed suitcase Miles away from any half-useful imaginary highway I'm a big name in deep space Ask your mates But golden boy's in bad shape I found out the hard way that Here ain't no place for dolls like you and me Everybody's on a barge Floating down the endless stream of great TV 1984, 2019 Maybe I was a little too wild in the 70s Rocket-ship grease down the cracks of my knuckles Karate bandana Warp speed chic Hair down to there Impressive moustache Love came in a bottle with a twist off cap Let's all have a swig and do a hot lap So who you gonna call? The Martini Police Baby that isn't how they look tonight Oh no It took the light forever To get to your eyes I just wanted to be one of those ghosts You thought that You could forget And then I Haunt you via the rear view mirror on a long drive From the back seat But it's alright Cause you love me And you recognize that it's ain't how it should be Your eyes are heavy and the weather's getting ugly So pull over I know the place Don't you know an apparition is a cheap date? What exactly is it you've been drinking these days? Jukebox in the corner, long Hot Summer They've got a film up on the wall And it's dark enough to dance What do you mean you've never seen Blade Runner? Maybe I was a little too wild in the 70s Back down to earth with a lounge singer shimmer Elevator down to my make believe residency From the honeymoon suite Two shows a day, four nights a week Easy money So who you gonna call? The Martini Police So who you gonna call? The Martini Police Baby that isn't how they look tonight It took the light Absolutely forever to get to your eyes And as we gaze skyward Ain't it dark early? It's the star treatment And as we gaze skyward Ain't it dark early? It's the star treatment It's the star treatment The star treatment
  2. One Point Perspective3:29
    vídeo del tema One Point Perspective
    Dancing in my underpants I'm gonna run for government I'm gonna form a covers band and all And back there by the Baby Grand Didn't Mr. Winter Wonderland Say: Come here kid, we really need to talk? Bear with me, man I lost my train of thought I fantasise and call it quits I swim with the economists And I get to the bottom of it for good By the time reality hits The chimes of freedom fall to bits The shining city on the fritz They come out of the cracks Thirsty for blood Oh, just as the apocalypse finally gets prioritised And you cry some of the hottest tears you ever cried Multiplied by five I suppose the singer must die Singsongs around the money tree This stunning documentary that no one else unfortunately saw Such beautiful photography, it's worth it for the opening scene I've been driving 'round listening to the score Or maybe, I just imagined it all I've played to quiet rooms like this before Bear with me, man I lost my train of thought
  3. American Sports2:38

    Letra

    So when you gaze at planet earth from outer space Does it wipe that stupid look off of your face? I saw this aura over the battleground states I lost the money, lost the keys But I'm still handcuffed to the briefcase And I never thought, not in a million years That I'd meet so many Lolas Can I please have my money back? My virtual reality mask is stuck on Parliament Brawl Emergency battery pack just in time for my weekly chat with God on videocall Breaking news they take the truth and make it and fluid The trainer's explanation was accepted by the steward A montage of the latest ancient ruins Soundtracked by a chorus of you don't know what you're doing And I never thought, not in a million years That I'd meet so many Lolas And all of my most muscular regrets explode behind my eyes like American sports And I never thought, not in a million years That I'd meet so many Lolas

  5. Golden Trunks2:54

    Letra

    Last night when my psyche's Subcommittee sang to me in its scary voice You slowly dropped your eyelids When true love takes a grip, it leaves you without a choice And in response to what you whispered in my ear I must admit, sometimes I fantasise about you too The leader of the free world Reminds you of a wrestler wearing tight golden trunks He's got himself a theme tune They play it for him as he makes his way to the ring And in response to what you whispered in my ear I must admit, sometimes I fantasise about you too In the daytime Bendable figures with a fresh new pack of lies Summat else to publicise I'm sure you've heard about enough So in response to what you whispered in my ear I'll be upfront, sometimes I fantasise about you too

  8. Science Fiction3:06

    Letra

    Religious iconography giving you the creeps? I feel rougher than a disco lizard tongue along your cheek The rise of the machines I must admit you gave me something momentarily In which I could believe But the hand of harsh reality’s un-gloved And it’s on its way back in to scoop you up But not on my watch I want to stay with you, my love The way some science fiction does Reflections in the silver screen of strange societies Swamp monster with a hard-on for connectivity The ascension of the cream Mass panic on a not too distant future colony Quantitative easing I want to make a simple point about peace and love But in a sexy way where it’s not obvious Highlight dangers and send out hidden messages The way some science fiction does The way some science fiction does I’ve got the world on a wire In my little mirror, mirror on the wall In the pocket of my raincoat So I tried to write a song to make you blush But I’ve a feeling that the whole thing May well just end up too clever for its own good The way some science fiction does
  9. She Looks Like Fun3:03

    Letra

    One, two, three, four She looks like fun She looks like fun She looks like fun She looks like Smile like you've got a straw in something tropical I've got the party plugged right into my skull Wayne Manor, what a memorable N.Y.E (She looks like fun) Good morning (She looks like fun) Cheeseburger (She looks like fun) Snowboarding (She looks like) Finally, I can share with you through cloudy skies Every whimsical thought that enters my mind There ain't no limit to the length of the dickheads we can be (She looks like fun) Bukowski (She looks like fun) Dogsitting (She looks like fun) Screwballing (She looks like) Finally, there's a place where you can wag your tongue Baby, but why can't we all just get along? Dance as if somebody's watching, because they are No one's on the streets We moved it all online As of March I'm so full of shite I need to spend less time stood around in bars Waffling on to strangers all about martial arts And how much I respect them (She looks like fun) Key changes (She looks like fun) Re-thinking (She looks like fun) New order (She looks like fun)
  10. Batphone4:32
    vídeo del tema Batphone
    I want an interesting synonym to describe this thing That you say we're all grandfathered in I'll use the search engine (We've got much to discuss) Too much to discuss over a bucket of balls I can recall the glow of your low beams It's the big night in Tinsel City Life became a spectator sport I launch my fragrance called Integrity I sell the fact that I can't be bought Have I told you all about the time that I got sucked into a hole Through a handheld device? I will flashback now and again, but I'm usually alright Thankfully, the process has been simplified Since the last time you tried I've recognized the glow of your low beams numerous times I'll be by the Batphone if you need to get a hold Making a selection, opening credits roll Panoramic windows looking out across your soul You go in through the door Vengeance trilogy wallpaper walls They have re-decorated it all They've changed all the lights and the bar's down the side I've recognized the glow of your low beams numerous times Through fairly opaque blinds in the sitting room Vehicles will pass by, but I know when it's you I'll be in a nose dive in my flying shoes Right behind your closed eyes like a memory from your youth I'll be by the Batphone if you need to get a hold Making a selection, opening credits roll Killer Pink Flamingos, computer controlled Panoramic windows looking out across your soul
  11. The Ultracheese3:38
    vídeo del tema The Ultracheese
    Still got pictures of friends on the wall I suppose we aren't really friends anymore Maybe I shouldn't ever have called That thing friendly at all Get freaked out from a knock at the door When I haven't been expecting one Didn't that used to be part of the fun Once upon a time? We'll be there at the back of the bar In a booth like we usually were Every time there was a rocket launch Or some big event What a death I died writing that song From start to finish, with you looking on It stays between us, Steinway and his sons 'Cause it's the Ultracheese Perhaps it's time that you went for a walk Dressed like a fictional character From a place they called America In the Golden Age Trust the politics to come along When you were just trying to orbit the Sun When you were just about to be kind to someone Because you had the chance I've still got pictures of friends on the wall I might look as if I'm deep in thought But the truth is I'm probably not If I ever was Oh, the dawn won't stop weighing a tonne I've done some things that I shouldn't have done But I haven't stopped loving you once
