i’m only just now processing that wpsiatwin and sias are only five years apart. that’s crazy. five years is just the time between albums these days, not four distinct eras (five if you count taotu) and a whole evolution.

All My Own Stunts

Josh [Homme] comes and sings on this one. He’s very dominant, his voice. When you record his voice it just sort of leaps out, it’s great. What else can I tell you about that one? It’s got another reference to cowboy films. It just says, “I’ve been watching cowboy films on gloomy afternoons” which were something I were doing at the time. It’s also where we let ourselves have a bit of a wig-out.

when suck it and see came out i remember seeing it advertised on itunes, and as an innocent american teenager unfamiliar with british slang, i thought “who would name their album that?? oh, of course it’s those weirdos.” but i was in fact getting arctic monkeys confused with arcade fire, who i did not like at the time 💀 if i had given it a chance i would’ve loved it and gotten into am two years earlier 😭

Happy birthday to Suck It and See, which was released on 6th June, 2011.

“I think this record has a kind of warmth to it that we’ve never had before. Sonically, I think it’s the best thing we’ve done. The last song I wrote for the previous album was a track called ‘Cornerstone’ - and I think that really set the tone for the songs I wrote next, many of which ended up on this record. I didn’t want it to sound twee or cheese, but I wanted to have the more melodic, major-key songs to go first on this record. We tried to challenge ourselves that way.”

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.
