It's not a 180 degree turn, but it's certainly a 90 degree turn in the Arctic Monkey's sound with their latest release Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino. It's an album based around the idea of "Lets go and write about another world in order to comment on this one." The social commentary regarding social media, government, relationships, and technology runs up and down the lyrics while paired with a lounge style, harmonically rich, low-key sound.
