Arctic Monkeys Share “Anyways,” Previously Unreleased Single from Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino

Arctic Monkeys have shared a previously unreleased single from their recent album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.

Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino was released in May, quickly reaching No. 1 on the band’s native U.K. charts and becoming the fastest-selling vinyl LP in the U.K. in 25 years. Today’s single, “Anyways,” is a b-side from the album, first announced last month. The single announcement was paired with the release of Warp Speed Chic, a mini documentary on the album’s production created by filmmaker Ben Chappell.

“Anyways” follows the vintage, lounge-pop sound that dominated much of TBH&C, with frontman Alex Turner crooning over atmospheric synthesizers and an understated, slow-moving rhythm section. Much of the track’s interest instrumentally is in the strings which, while often dainty and almost ethereal, are juxtaposed with staccato, jangly riffs interspersed here and there.
