WATCH: Arctic Monkeys ‘Body Paint’

Arctic Monkeys have launched ‘Body Paint’ a new track from their forthcoming album ‘The Car’, set for release on Friday the 21st of October.

The Arctic Monkeys have released the single Body Paint from their highly anticipated long-awaited album ‘The Car’.

Written by Alex Turner, produced by long-time collaborator James Ford, and recorded in the UK and France, the 10-track album has been a long time in the making.

Take a watch below:

The video was directed by Brook Linder and filmed in London and Missouri.

Of the new album, Arctic frontman Alex Turner shares “I’m trying to scratch a little bit of that feeling here on the new record. It feels like a long time ago, but it can be right behind you. Something reminds you and it takes you back. There’s a lyric on ‘Hello You’ that says, ‘I could pass for 17 if I just get a shave and catch some zzzz’s.’ Maybe that’s barking up that tree a little. Well, a lot. I’m thinking about going to the snooker club with my granddad and it feels like we were just there. But, wait a minute, there’s all this time in between.”
