Arctic Monkeys Release a Catchy New Track ‘I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am’

The Arctic Monkeys have released a new song from their next album, ‘The Car’. 'I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am', which the band performed live earlier this year at the Zurich Openair festival in Switzerland, has been shared.

They also released a live performance of the song, which was captured on camera during the group's most recent King's Theatre performance in Brooklyn which was directed by Ben Chappell and Zackery Michael.

Speaking about the track, frontman Alex Turner told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1: “The idea of the fight and the band trying to get out of the… Because I feel that there were some discussions to that effect. Not so much the recording I suppose, but the period after where we were mixing and putting it all together and discovering the path through it there.”

“You mentioned, there’s the strings on there of course… One of the ideas with that was just to try and… It seems obvious, but everything has its space and takes its turn. I don’t know, it’s not battle between the band and this other sound or something. I think it was important for us to try and get somewhere with that, with the dynamics of that whole situation. And I suppose it’s not just between the strings and the band even, but I think in… I don’t know, we’re having a bit more fun with those types of ideas.”

The song comes after the first album taster ‘There'd Better Be A Mirrorball’ and the most current single ‘Body Paint’.

The band's 2023 world tour also received headline dates in Europe last week. 21st October, marks the release of ‘The Car’ and the band has already announced plans for a stadium tour of the UK and concerts in North America with Fontaines D.C. for the following year.
