Arctic Monkeys have finally decided to treat us with a new album. After months of speculations, the British band has revealed on Thursday that they will release their sixth studio album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino on May 11.
The band’s record label Domino said in a press release that the new album “finds the band intent on continuing to explore new musical terrain,” adding that Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino “is a bold and brilliant album reflecting Turner’s ever more comprehensive creative vision.”
Arctic Monkeys’ longtime collaborator James Ford joins frontman Alex Turner in sharing the production duties on the album, which was recorded in Los Angeles, Paris, and London.
Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino will be available in CD, vinyl, and digital formats. You will also be able to get a silver vinyl LP edition of the album featuring gatefold sleeve, lyric and photo booklet from the band’s official website.
Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino will be band’s first release since the 2013 universally acclaimed AM, which is labeled as one of the best rock albums of the decade.
Besides releasing a new album, Arctic Monkeys will also embark on a tour in 2018, with dates in North America and Europe. After a gig in Los Angeles scheduled for May 5th, the band will return to the US in June for eight more dates before concluding the North America leg of the tour in Toronto on August 5th.
