A super daring, out-of-pocket move for the band, yet still charming, with great results. With some of Alex Turner’s most inspired songwriting, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino veers from croons to falsetto cries as he ties together an interpretive, loose narrative. Retro-futurist production lies atop hyperrealist satire, escapism, and warm melancholy, creating the equivalent of Elon Musk handing you his spaceship’s aux cord.
