If you're going to see one of the shows while you still have the chance, you'd better buckle up. We've created a playlist that mirrors the Arctic Monkey's most recent setlists on this tour. Unlike the band's previous work, (that, too, often contains a psychadelic feel) Tranquility has a full-blown sci-fi element to it.
It takes place in the frighteningly foreseeable future, where the moon has been colonized and turned into a luxury resort. The album brushes on consumerism, hyper-reality and accelerating technology seen through the lens of unreliable narrators, whose hallucinatory tendencies make it hard to differentiate between fiction and reality.
The Arctic Monkeys have been on the road in support of their latest release, Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino, and with the new album comes a completely new sound. Alex Turner has traded in his signature leather jacket for a blazer, and that's not even the weirdest part of the Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino tour.
