Arctic Monkeys: 'Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair'

Blimey, he's not one for taking a holiday is Alex Turner. Much like Woody 'film a year' Allen, the Arctic Monkeys main man seems incapable of stopping to smell the roses, instead preferring to keep churning out song after song. His band will be on their fourth full album in five years with this summer's Suck It And See, but he's also spun off The Last Shadow Puppets and only chucked out his 'Submarine EP' a few weeks ago.

The awkwardly-titled 'DSDCIMYC' kicks off with a trebly guitar line and Turner's most psychedelic/Britpoppy vocals (think Richard Ashcroft) to date before it all gets oh-so-heavy. Producer James Ford sounds like he's been taking notes from Steve Albini and the Pixies as the band contrast grungy distorted riffery and a chorus that sounds bigger every time you hear it. It's impossible to reconcile the 2011 Arctic Monkeys with the alternate future of diminishing returns threatened by the second-rate 'Leave Before the Lights Come On' way back when. Like Turner's side-projects, this is another bit of evidence for the band's admirable refusal to do the same old thing to keep people happy. Whatever you think they are, it seems, they are not.
