#arcitc monkeys

this is the mf that wrote the line “i’d give you anything in return for those noises you’ve got”

so, so much of what’s going on in tbh&c and the car, both musically, lyrically and thematically can be traced back to this album (or even tatou if u poke deeper). like how did ppl listen to eycte and then get shocked when alex put out something like tbh&c; if you’d been paying attention you would have known where’s it coming from. it’s such an important album in alex’s personal discography and marks a huge turning point in his evolution as a songwriter. i will also go far as to any analysis of the arctic monkey’s musical evolution is incomplete without talking about eycte. but so many ppl, i see, often just write it off as as “fun side project alex did during his break” OPEN YOUR EYES Y’ALL
