As summer comes to a close and sweater season begins, many of us will start to incorporate baths into our routine — or stop taking showers altogether. Whether it’s a simple bath with warm water or additions that include bath bombs, salt, candles, books, or wine, baths are an ideal way to decompress from a long day. And these days most of us need to decompress more than ever. Just ask Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard, who’s made a delightful hobby of it: “Some people meditate, some people go for runs,...

Arctic Monkeys will make their Austin City Limits debut via PBS on Saturday. The UK rockers perform six songs during the show, which also includes a set from Austin, Texas’ Wild Child.
In a clip from the band’s Acl premiere, Arctic Monkeys deliver “The Ultracheese,” which is the final song from their 2018 album, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino. In line with their trademark droll approach, the performance intersperses shots from the Acl camera crew alongside scenes culled from a faux documentary team, who can be seen in red jumpsuits in the video.

Earlier this year, the Arctic Monkeys released Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, a strange concept album set in a casino piano bar on the moon that was a serious left turn from the arena-rock of 2013’s Am. Fans curious about the recording process behind Tranquility are in luck: the band’s longtime film partner Ben Chappell (who has directed several of their videos) was at the French mansion where they crafted the songs, and today released a trippy short companion film to the album, Warp Speed Chic.

Arctic Monkeys delivered a delightful yet dramatic cover of the White Stripes’ deep cut “The Union Forever” during a gig in Detroit, Michigan on Wednesday.
Most of the lyrics of the White Blood Cells track are cribbed from Orson Welles’ 1941 classic Citizen Kane, and Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner delivered them with gravitas tinged with his own rakish style. With added keys, bass and other instruments, the Arctic Monkeys gave the song a harder edge than the original.

Arctic Monkeys covered the Strokes‘ “Is This It?” during their Tuesday concert at Forest Hills Stadium in New York, New York.
Frontman Alex Turner adopted a thick, vibrato-heavy croon during the performance, with his band recreating the 2001 track’s chugging guitars and melodic, high-octave bass. The group even augmented the song with sporadic, spacey synth.
Turner has often cited his diehard Strokes fandom. “I remember I used to play that first album in college all the time, when our band was first starting,” he told NME in 2011. “Loads of people were into them,...

Arctic Monkeys brought their rocket-lounge sound to The Late Show Monday with a performance of “The Ultracheese” off their new album, Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino.
Filmed in black and white, the band breezed through the cheeky piano ballad, which closes the album. Frontman Alex Turner milked the tune’s washed-up lounge singer vibes with some soused swaying and swooning, though as the song hit its peak he expertly belted, “I still got pictures of friends on the wall/ I might look as if I’m deep in thought/ But...

Arctic Monkeys bring their Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino to life in the band’s richly photographed new video for the album’s title track.
The video is a continuation of sorts to Arctic Monkeys’ voyeuristic “Four Out of Five” visual, with frontman Alex Turner again playing a pair of roles; Turner himself sports a beard, while his “Mark” character is freshly shaven.
In the video, directed by Ben Chappell and Aaron Brown, the two Turners explore Reno, Nevada, with “Mark” taking up residence in the penthouse suite at the city’s Peppermill Casino.

Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, the sixth studio album from Sheffield quartet Arctic Monkeys hit listeners’ ears and immediately split them down the middle. Some were left grinning and chin stroking, admiring yet another deft surprise from the band’s smirking frontman Alex Turner. Others meanwhile were left wondering when the stadium-sized indie anthems the band have become known for were going to kick in. That latter group had a long and ultimately fruitless wait. Whatever you thought Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino was going to to be, this certainly wasn’t that.
Although surely that’s to be expected, right? Look at Arctic Monkeys today and they’re almost unrecognisable compared to the scruffy indie-lads that burst onto the scene in 2006 with an endless supply of earworm hooks and mile-a-minute lyrics delivered in an overtly Northern twang. That record alone got so much airplay at the time that it quickly cemented...

With the genre of rock music at an all-time low ebb, many people have pinned big hopes on this, Arctic Monkeys’ sixth album. The group was arguably the last straight-up rock band to break through in a major way — their 2006 debut broke the record for single-week album sales in their native U.K. — and they’ve maintained their status as one of the world’s biggest bands via songs like 2013’s booming “Do You Wanna Know” (which broke them in the U.S.), 2009’s snaky “Crying Lightning” and the thrashy 2005 track that put them on the map, “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor.” Singer/primary songwriter Alex Turner’s gnarled melodies and innovative wordplay add an ever-unfolding element of surprise to the group’s songs, and they remain one of the few arena-level rock bands who aren’t over 40.

Maria Pulera, director of Nicolas Cage-starrer “Between Worlds,” has launched Rise Up, a production-distribution house, partnering with Eric Banoun and David Hillary.
A supernatural thriller, “Between Worlds” makes its market debut at Cannes, sold by Voltage Pictures. Backed by a Spanish-Israeli finance fund, Rise Up has offices in Los Angeles, Marbella and Tel Aviv. Distribution will focus on Europe, Asia and U.S.
Beyond “Between Worlds,” its first production, Rise Up is set to produce Spanish neo-Noir “El Matador,” written by Pulera and scheduled to roll this July in Spain’s Marbella.
Also on Rise Up’s first slate: “Johnny Thunders,” a biopic of the American punk rock hero from Jonas Akerlund (“Lords of Chaos”); and “The Clean Up,” described as a “dark, sexy, funny, violent contemporary noir thriller,” with Alex Turner directing; post WWII-set “No-No Boy”; and “When the Nines Were Sixes,” a coming-of-age tale from Joshua Evans.

Trick or treat...or rock n' roll? Why choose? If you need some of the best Halloween rock songs, we're your ghouls.
If you're looking for the "Monster Mash" you may look elsewhere. Halloween is handily the most rock n' roll friendly holiday, as the music that initially frightened parents and authority figures can always take particular inspiration from the vibes that are generally put forth on this most unholy of nights.
We've compiled 31 appropriate (or inappropriate) tunes for the holiday, focusing either specifically on horror movies, the supernatural, or that just have a spooky hook somewhere in there.
We've tried to arrange this like a double LP (four sides) of music for your listening pleasure. Crank 'em up, and make your own suggestions in the comments! You can also enjoy this as a Spotify playlist!

Miles Kane and Alex Turner are writing an 'X-Men style film' together.
Speaking about potential future Last Shadow Puppets material Kane told Digital Spy that the pair "always talk" about the group but are prioritising a film.
"It's something we always talk about y'know? But I think we're gonna write this film first anyway before we hit back into that," Kane revealed.
"It's gonna have a sort of X-Men kind of vibe and sort of set in the '60s, but I can't give anymore away than that."
The 'Rearrange' singer added that neither of the pair would have major acting roles in the film, although they could feature in production in some form.
"We're not planning to be [in the film] but we may have a little cameo."

Most people on this side of the pond might recognize veteran English comedian Richard Ayoade as the oddball techie Moss on the Britcom The It Crowd, or as the odd man out from the 2012 A-list sci-fi comedy The Watch (he was the gentleman who was not Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn or Jonah Hill). He's established himself as a novel comic presence onscreen, gravitating toward characters that feel several beats off from the norm and don't mesh with their environments.

What have Matthew Holness, Richard Ayoade, Alice Lowe and Matt Berry been up to in the decade since Garth Marenghi's Darkplace?
It’s been ten years now since author, visionary, and dreamweaver Garth Marenghi’s legendary horror TV show, Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, was rescued from a vault in Peru and broadcast to a largely unappreciative audience.
Or, you know, in the reality we actually inhabit, it’s been ten years since a group of comedians donned 80s costumes and pretended to be aging filmmakers commenting on their own ‘lost’ series. Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace was a perfect send-up of both trashy low-budget horror and science fiction productions and pompous creators, as a bewigged Matthew Holness straight-facedly explained the unique genius of his horror writing alter ego even as his greatest creation, Dr Rick Dagless M.D., mugged away in the background.
It was a ludicrously high concept show,...

A couple of months ago I featured some exquisite silkscreened King Kong prints designed by the British design studio La Boca. I’ve been following La Boca’s work for the past few years and so I thought a great way to end the year would be to ask the founder of La Boca, Scot Bendall, to talk about some of their influences by sharing with us his ten favorite movie posters of all time.
Scot chose ten posters that have meaning for them as designers. “I think there have been better, and more successful, poster designs for sure—I mean, there isn’t one Saul Bass here for example!—but, the only way I could wrangle down to ten was by selecting posters that have had some personal resonance to our work. I’m also a (very amateur) Czech/Polish poster collector, so they feature quite prominently.”

Chicago – Too many critics have casually dismissed Richard Ayoade’s directorial debut, “Submarine,” as a mere Wes Anderson imitation. Yes, the picture is chockfull of arty hipster posturing: chapter breaks, deadpan cutaway gags and hapless adults viewed by a sullen 15-year-old protagonist forever cloaked in a large black toggle coat. He’s like Bud Cort fused with the hyper-articulate eccentricity of Max Fischer.
Okay, so perhaps “Submarine” is a touch too precious for its own good. Yet for all of its self-conscious pretensions, there’s a tangible and poignant depth to this color-coded coming-of-age tale. Like Max Winkler’s marvelous Anderson-inspired comedy, “Ceremony,” Ayoade’s film employs familiar motifs to construct an overarching vision that is entirely its own. The picture’s cool surface is reflective of the characters themselves, who are adept at keeping their emotions comfortably submerged.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0

Alex Turner has described himself as a "romantic fool" after being asked about the increase in ballads appearing on the Arctic Monkeys' latest album Suck It and See. Turner, who released his debut solo album as the soundtrack to film Submarine earlier this year, said that he was compelled to write slow songs. "I am a romantic fool, no doubt about that," he told the Baltimore Sun. "I can't help myself but write those songs." Turner also explained that much of his songwriting process revolves around being alone (more)...
