Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino (Pt. 2)

The Big Mates discuss automobile mishaps, instagram tacos, virtual reality, and Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino by Arctic Monkeys. 

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their dissection of the band's sixth album by talking about the musicians involved in creating it, a change in the credits, how much of the creative weight landed on Alex Turner's shoulders. 

They discuss the recording of the album and continue their track-by-track analysis, exploring the composition, tone, lyrics, meaning, and context for each song in turn - all from three differing perspectives, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!

Why is Steve such a trite filmmaker? Is Bridgerton a book? What is this, a hotel for ants? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next week, Monday February 16th, and will continue and conclude our deep-dive into Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino!
