Secondo singolo per gli Arctic Monkeys , tratto dallo splendido Humbug . Dopo "Crying Lightning", brano apripista dell'album, un nuovo video diretto da Richard Ayoade. Completamente incentrato sulla figura del cantante Alex Turner, "Cornerstone" è un lavoro dai toni minimali: nient'altro che il leader delle Scimmie Artiche con un vecchio registratore a tracolla, un microfono da reporter e delle cuffie enormi che ciondola cantando quella che è forse la ballad migliore del disco. L'ironia delle immagini crea un intenso contrasto col pathos del pezzo, ovviamente disponibile in più formati. [...]
A ver, recapitulemos.. Por alguna razón nos quitan todos los posts de Acrtic Monkeys, pero ustedes saben que hemos sido bastante recurrentes en cuanto a esta agrupación se refiere. Sabemos que el album Humbug salió este año y el primer single fue 'Crying Lightning' que no me gustó mucho pero bueno, sacaron un video y todo eso. Ahora el próximo a salir es 'Cornerstone' que está más suave y tiene un artwork bien cuchi que pueden ojearse en el tumblr . Bueno, esto estará por ahí oficialmente el 16 de noviembre y yo se los pongo [...]

They're not from Neverland, they're from Rotherham! (I know, I know they're from Sheffield) Unlike Peter Pan though, it appears that these cheeky northern scamps have grown up. Gone is the blistering power chord driven belters that prevailed on the first album and the dance elements from the second have also been reined in. James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco) who produced Favourite Worst Nightmare, is only on production duties on 3 of tracks, with Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) now cracking the whip on [...]

The Monkeys did a radio session for Sirius XMU Radio station. It's a very different version of the song with a piano and an acoustic guitars. Really like this version! Share this: Posted in sound

Presentazione : Ecco "Humbug", l'atteso terzo album degli Arctic Monkeys . Giudizio complessivo : Si dice che sia il secondo album il più difficile nella carriera di un' artista ma per gli Arctic Monkeys non è stato così, il loro secondo album "Favourite Worst Nightmare" uscì sulla scia del successo del clamoroso (per certi versi) debutto e non ebbe grosse difficoltà. Per gli Arctic Monkeys è questo l'album più difficile sia perchè presenta per la prima volta una vera svolta sonora, sia perchè a questo giro il successo è tutt' altro che scontato. Se [...]

Alex Turner and co. played ' Crying Lightning ', the first single off the new album, " Humbug ". " Humbug ", the band's third album, is due out August 25. Watch the performance below. Arctic Monkeys

Today, I watched a lot of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Maybe 4 episodes of each. Which is a fair amount when you are not just watching them. More studying the episodes really. Anyways, after all that, I was a bit spaced out of it throughout the day. So much so, I decided to throw my iPod into a bin. Unintentionally. Obviously. Once again, I struggle to multi-task. Or hold a few items in my hands, and know which one to let go off. It was money a couple of weeks back. Now my iPod. Just dumb. Walking into [...]
Post from: The Galley Boys Arctic Monkeys – Crying Lightning (Live On Jimmy Fallon)
With Queens of the Stone Age's vocalist/guitarist Josh Homme at the helm of production duties (a session occurring at his Joshua Tree studio) on half of the Arctic Monkeys' new full-length record, Humbug, it's easy to see and accept their progression in sound. On Humbug, the band, whom have since been seen with longer locks of hair, is seen at a new stage of songwriting especially following Alex Turner's successful side project The Last Shadow Puppets. Here's the official video for the band's first single, "Crying Lightning": [...]

It's official: The Arctic Monkeys are back! The band has A LOT going on right now and we will probably run the risk of this site becoming Tastes Like Arctic Monkeys but, whatever, we're excited. The band's third album, Humbug , is out on August 24th (UK/25th US) and there's really no excuse to not have heard lead single, Crying Lightning , yet. The larger than life video recently premiered online and saw director Richard Ayoade taking the helm once more after collaborating with the boys on their At The Apollo live dvd and [...]
Los Arctic Monkeys presentaron este fin de semana el vídeo de "Crying Lightning" , el primer sencillo de su nueva producción Humbug y sin duda alguna, una de mis canciones favoritas del verano. Este fue dirigido por Richard Ayoade y en él podemos ver a la banda navegando en un barco mientras tocan la canción como si fuera lo más normal del mundo, pero lo interesante viene a la mitad del vídeo, con algunas sorpresas saliendo del mar. No me parece un vídeo súper elaborado pero la canción es tan buena [...]
Cette vidéo devrait être supprimée d'ici ce soir donc dépêchez-vous d'y jeter un oeil ! Les Arctic Monkeys ont un je-ne-sais-quoi de personnages de Harry Potter qui auraient formé un groupe de rock la vingtaine passée... "Crying Lightning" est le premier extrait de Humbug qui doit sortir le 24 août. La chanson est encore téléchargeable là-bas pour quelques heures. </font [...]

Arctic Monkeys have premiered the music video for ' Crying Lightning '. The track is off the band's forthcoming album, Humbug , due out August 25 via Domino . The music video features the band performing the track in a boat on the rough seas. The video was directed by Richard Ayoade .

Sono cresciuti gli Arctic Monkeys , gli ex-ragazzini prodigio dell' indie-rock che sono riusciti più di tutti a mostrare come diventare famosi e vendere milioni di copie grazie al "buzz", al viral marketing e al passa-parola su internet (soprattutto MySpace in questo caso). I primi due album non erano musicalmente rivoluzionari ma erano comunque due ottime prove di credibilità con le quali hanno dimostrato che da un gruppo di ragazzi poco più che adolescenti ci si può anche aspettare grande musica e non solo canzoncine teen-pop. L'attesa per il terzo disco ("Humbug", [...]
Brand New Official Music Video of Arctic Monkeys' new song 'Crying Lighting'. Aired on Channel 4 on 24th July. Their third album, titled 'Humbug', is available one month from this release.

The song's still growing on me; I like the grungy, stoner rock vibes, but the video takes that aesthetic a little too far with a strange, vaguely mythological journey that doesn't really go anywhere and, apart from a few shots of Helders, doesn't have any of the humour that usually features. A bit po-faced, a little cheap-looking, a bit shit. Pah. In related Humbug hype... some scans from the bands Q magazine appearance are here . Also, a new track from the album, 'My Propeller' is also 'out there'. It's [...]
Arctic Monkeys return with their first new material in 2 years. "Crying Lightning" is the first single from the upcoming third album "Humbug." The intriguing element of the band's new album is the fact that it was co-produced by both Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and James Ford. "Crying Lightning" is surprisingly [...]
