ARCTIC MONKEYS - TRANQUILITY BASE HOTEL & CASINO (CLEAR VINYL)
Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino is the sixth studio album by English rock band Arctic Monkeys, released on 11 May 2018 by Domino Recording Company. It was written by band frontman Alex Turner in 2016 on a Steinway Vertegrand piano in his Los Angeles home. The album features a rich sound that embodies psychedelic pop, lounge pop, space pop, and glam rock, as well as elements of jazz. Its lyrical content draws heavily from science fiction and film, exploring consumerism, politics, religion and technology through the concept of a luxury resort on the Moon told from the perspective of various characters, such as the singer in the in-house band on "Star Treatment" or the hotel's receptionist on the title track.
