Hi! Are you reviewing Arctic Monkeys for next week?

[Chloe Walsh]

Hi!

How are you? I have a quick question for you.

ARE YOU REVIEWING THE ARCTIC MONKEYS’ ALBUM AM?

It’s out next week (September 10th on Domino) and we have great photos if you need ‘em. We also have downloads and CDs. The album is currently streaming in full on iTunes: http://bit.ly/1ebjGb8

This is Arctic Monkeys FIFTH album and shaping up to be their most popular. Preceded by a trifecta of blistering singles “R U Mine?”, “Do I Wanna Know?” and “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?” AM comes two years after the release of their lauded Suck it and See LP. Those two years saw Arctic Monkeys enjoy some of their most widespread success to date; including their first State side arena tour with The Black Keys in 2012 and another headline slot of the world’s biggest music festival, Glastonbury in the UK, in June 2013. Huge crowd pleaser “R U Mine” now has over 13 million YouTube views. “Do I Wanna Know?” has almost 11 million while the newly released “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?” has hit the 3.5 million in just three weeks.

As Arctic Monkeys fever continues to spread around the globe the band will be touring the US - which they now call home having relocated to Los Angeles in 2012 – beginning in New York City on September 16th. Full tour dates below.
AM is by far the band’s most inventive album and features 12 brilliantly robust tracks. Produced by James Ford and co-produced by Ross Orton in California at Sage & Sound Recording and Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, the album was engineered by Ian Shea (Coldplay, John Mayer) and mixed by multi-Grammy Award winner Tchad Blake (Elvis Costello, The Black Keys).  Josh Homme, Pete Thomas and Bill Ryder Jones all make guest appearances on AM – as do the words of John Cooper Clarke, on the track “I Wanna Be Yours.”

Some praise for AM:

“ The dance-floor-ready post-punk of their early days has matured into a meatier, more assured sound — the kind that attracted Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme, who's worked with them since 2008. He helps out here, but he doesn't have to; led by Alex Turner's cocksure vocals, AM mixes Velvet Underground melodies, Black Sabbath riffs, and playful grooves, and has fun doing it.” A-  – Entertainment Weekly

“"Do I Wanna Know?" and "R U Mine?" are a couple of satisfying stomps anchoring this collection of gold-tinted kiss-offs.” – Alternative Press

“Arctic Monkeys’ fifth record is absolutely and unarguably the most incredible album of their career. It might also be the greatest record of the last decade.” – NME (10 out of 10)
