Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino - Arctic Monkeys (2018)

I already liked this album quite a bit, but then I watched this excellent little YT feature on the record and it made me like it even more.

The book the video talks about that informed a lot of the lyrics.

It’s the story of a washed out rockstar doing a low-pressure residency on the hotel built on the moon. Sounds wild, but it’s actually a good set up for how shelled out the guy’s life is, and the entertainment world by extension.

Kind of deep stuff.
