Arctic Monkeys // R U Mine

Not long after the release of the brilliant “Black Treacle”, the Arctic Monkeys have brought out a new standalone single seemingly out of nowhere, with new track “R U Mine”

With big riffs and a rock n roll stance, this is the brashest track from the Arcitcs in a long time. It’s a little less vintage americana than the band’s latest material, as they’ve ditched those sunkissed California vibes for something a little more gritty on “R U Mine”.

This is getting a lot of Black Keys comparisons, which makes sense considering Alex Turner & co are supporting the band on their latest North American tour. But while this song is as instant as something from the Black Keys, it’s a little more London Sheffield and little less Nashville than something off “El Camino”. But no matter who’s influenced this song, it’s a great track which makes me wish the band would come to Belfast on their next tour.
