Tranquility Base hints at these dashed dreams in its stylish soft contours, which are neither retro nor modern: they're hung suspended between these two extremes, sounding precisely like Alex Turner while never touching upon the frenzied, heavy roar of the Monkeys. He may have been born at the height of Brothers in Arms, but Turner fetishes the swinging sci-fi '60s, winking at futurism while acknowledging that its starry potential has curdled in the digital age. Throughout Tranquility Base, Turner comes across as if he were much, much older than his actual age, ing an eyebrow to a potential paramour who has the audacity to have never seen Blade Runner, and reminiscing about the '70s - a decade he never saw. Chalk it up, perhaps, to the fact that Turner was a mere 32 years old when he unleashed Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino onto the world, a young age that seems older because Arctic Monkeys released their debut when he was just 19. It was inevitable that Alex Turner would incorporate the loungey swagger of his busman's holiday the Last Shadow Puppets into his main gig of the Arctic Monkeys, yet the soft louche touch of Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino comes as something of a shock. Its lyrical content draws heavily from science fiction and film, exploring consumerism, politics, religion, technology.ĪllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine: The album was written by Turner on a piano, and features a lush lounge pop and space pop sound with jazz influences a departure from the band's previous guitar-heavy work. It was released on by Domino Recording Company, and produced by frequent Arctic Monkeys collaborator James Ford and band frontman Alex Turner. Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino is the sixth studio album by English indie rock band Arctic Monkeys.
