Humbug is Arctic Monkeys' third studio album. Like their previous release, Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007), Humbug was released first in Japan, on 19 August 2009, followed by Australia, Brazil, Ireland and Germany, on 21 August 2009 The band started to write songs for the album towards the end of summer 2008, and finished it entirely in spring 2009. Featuring a thumping Motown-style beat, funk guitar, and touches of the cinematic composition at the heart of their last record, “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am” sounds like a winner so far.Humbug is the third studio album by English rock band Arctic Monkeys, first released on 19 August 2009 through the Domino Recording Company. The band previewed the first glimpse of The Car at Zurich Openair Festival in Switzerland. “In that way, it does all feel like it’s connected to us 20 years ago in the garage when it was pure instinct.” “You have to follow your instincts in the same way you did in the first place,” he shared. Incredibly, this year marks 20 years of Arctic Monkeys and elaborating on the creation of The Car, Turner said that the band felt themselves deviating towards the instinctive methods that powered their breakthrough debut. There’s time the band comes to the front and then the strings come to the front.”

“The strings on this record come in and out of focus and that was a deliberate move and hopefully everything has its own space. “I think we’ve got closer to a better version of a more dynamic overall sound with this record,” the singer added. Turner seemed to be alluding to the left-field direction of Arctic Monkeys’ previous album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino - a space-age glam-rock opera about a luxury holiday resort on the moon. “On this record, sci-fi is off the table. In an interview with The Big Issue, lead vocalist Turner dug straight into the creative process behind The Car and dropped some pretty clear hints around what to expect from the Sheffield-formed rock band’s seventh album, recorded in London, Suffolk, and Paris. To paraphrase the twisted rock stomper at the heart of 2013’s AM, do you wanna know? Of course you do, dear reader. And now, we also have the first single from the album, as “There’d Better Be A Mirrorball” has been released alongside a very cool looking music video. With a release date right around the corner, a tracklist, and plenty of early detail from vocalist Alex Turner already out there, there’s much to get excited about. After taking a trip to outer space on their last album - 2018’s Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino - the Arctic Monkeys are back revving up the engines again, as their seventh record The Car on the way.
