Description
Step inside Alex Turner’s lounge-pop sci-fi masterpiece—now back in a highly prized Japanese pressing.
Originally released in 2018, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino marked a daring, cinematic shift for Arctic Monkeys. Trading their signature razor-sharp indie rock guitars for vintage Steinway pianos, space-age synthesizers, and lush, retro-futuristic arrangements, the band delivered a brilliant concept album set in a luxury resort on the moon.
Led by Alex Turner's sharpest, most surreal lyricism to date, the album glides seamlessly through tracks like the hypnotic opener "Star Treatment," the groove-heavy "One Point Perspective," and the sprawling title track. It draws deep inspiration from 1960s French pop, avant-garde lounge jazz, and vintage cinema soundtracks, standing tall as a deeply atmospheric, slow-burn masterpiece that reveals hidden layers with every spin.
