Arctic Monkeys have shared “Body Paint,” the second single off their anticipated seventh album The Car“There’d Better Be A Mirrorball,” it continues down the loungey path of 2018’s Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, and it’s got gorgeous string arrangements that split the difference between Burt Bacharach and George Martin’s work on the baroque pop-era Beatles records. It’s another good one, and you can listen and check out its Brook Linder-directed video below. The Arctic Monkeys will also perform the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon tonight (9/29).
We recently caught the Arctic Monkeys’ first US headlining show of 2022 at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre (pics), and they’ve got a 2023 UK tour with The Hives and The Mysterines. All dates are listed below.
