Humbug
Arctic Monkeys
Working with Josh Homme in the Mojave Desert, the group adopted ominous and crawling melodies. The tracks feel claustrophobic, favoring heavy reverb over their signature indie-pop energy.
This project represents a polarizing shift in the band direction. It displays a willingness to embrace a moodier, experimental palette that deviates from their previous work.
