Arctic Monkeys give an exclusive preview of next months 3rd album Humbug via Arcticmonkeys.com with a live web transmission from 9pm on Thursday 30th July. The eagerly anticipated return from Sheffield's finest is part produced by Queens Of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme.In a preview article on ClashMusic.com, writer Simon Harper claimed that the band had "completely defied any expectations or presumptions to explore the depths they can reach when stepping foot outside their accepted styles", and that "Turner is his usual eloquent self, but has definitely graduated into an incomparable writer whose themes twist and turn through stories and allegories so potent and profound it actually leaves one breathless".
New single "Crying Lightning " is already Number 1 in the Indie Top 40 and at 12 in this weeks UK Top 40.
Hard to believe this will be their 3rd album is 3 three years. Its one thing being prolific but the /arctics' have so far alos delivered the goods. The new single is a bit of grower , reminding this blogger of The Coral. A few more listens is required at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_U2HLU_zWw
Frontman Alex Turner recently took a deserved swipe at TheTing Tings saying that the Arctic's ' Ivor Novello songwriting win was tainted due to the fact the Ting Tings had also scooped an award.
