Arctic Monkeys are used to topping the charts. Their 2006 debut Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, followed by Favourite Worst Nightmare, Humbug, Suck It And See, and AM also all debuted at the top of the UK album chart.

]]>This is the second single from band’s sixth studio album and spiritual follow-up to “Four Out of Five”. It has the same Kubrick-inspired glitzy aesthetic and takes viewers on a psychedelic journey with front-man Alex Turner. He plays a mumbling Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino guest who spends most of the time roaming through its hallways. We watch him as he rides on neon-colored elevators and explores various casino offerings.
After a while, Turner starts feeling at home and assumes to the role of a desk clerk. This flashy environment becomes too overwhelming, and he eventually leaves it behind. The singer tries to clear his mind by riding around Reno’s desert outskirts and taking photos of wild horses.
Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino came out on May 11 and it’s being promoted with a global tour. The band took a break from being on the road to appear on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Monday. They performed the final track from the new album called The Ultracheese and Turner’s look took fans by a surprise. He was sporting a shaved head, which is a drastic change from slick black hair he used to rock.

]]>“We were meant to do a band together once, called Rupert The Band, me and Alex Turner,” – Allen told NME. “I haven’t seen him for a long time. He lives in LA now. Avoiding tax. Yeah.”
“Smile” singer also discussed the new Arctic Monkeys’ record, Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino, revealing that she likes the album despite the generally mixed response to it.
“I like that new record,” she said. “It’s like cliché rock’n’roll, but I like it. You know what I mean? I knew it wasn’t going to be Sheffield rock again, but it’s like everything that I expected from a bunch of lads living in Hollywood, from Sheffield, to come up with and I like it for that”
Lily Allen recently released her own new record, No Shame, as well. The album, which is Allen’s fourth studio album, was warmly received by both the music fans and the critics. She also announced a North America tour in support of the album, which will see her playing more than 20 dates in the United States and Canada in October and November.

For those of you who haven’t heard the album, it is unlike anything the Arctic Monkeys have produced before, featuring piano and strange sci-fi themes which Alex Turner claims are inspired by Blade Runner. It sounds more like something that Turner would have produced as part of his solo career but he said this was not the case.
“I was never interested in making a solo album,” Turner said. “I am a part of this band and one would disrespect the other. Nevertheless, I wanted to make this music, it was in me. When you compose on the piano, you automatically get different results than on the guitar. And it was important to me to say goodbye to the realism of most of the Arctic Monkeys stuff.”
