Arctic Monkeys have finally announced their sixth album, '
Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino', today complete with an album cover that looks like a half-finished Blue Peter Tracy Island. We’re pretty excited about it here at Dork, but we haven’t heard it yet. Instead, we thought we’d give you a not-so-serious track by track breakdown of what we think it’s going to be about.
Popular Wakefield singer and presenter Jane McDonald once hosted a makeover show called Star Treatment on ITV. It’s probably not about that, but it could be about the makeover that led to Alex Turner deciding that facial hair was a fun idea. Remember when he looked like that kid you were mates with in high school but haven’t spoken to since? Good times.
Pictures that have one vanishing point on the horizon are known as having one-point perspective. You’ll typically see this in pictures of roads, railway tracks or hallways. Without getting too existential crisis-y here, this one is probably about something being very far off in the distance and seemingly unattainable. Or Alex Turner might just really love roads. Los Angeles does have a lot of them.
American Sports are a bit weird aren’t they? They call football “soccer”, their baseball World Series only seems to have teams from America in it and American Football is a thing. Since they’ve upped sticks to LA, is this the band renouncing their love for Sheffield Wednesday in favour of LA Galaxy? With that Zlatan Ibrahimović debut the other day, it wouldn’t be surprising. Jordan Rhodes probably couldn’t score like that.
