Arctic Monkeys Share Full Warp Speed Chic Film

Check out the Ben Chappell directed project...

Arctic Monkeys have placed their short film Warp Speed Chic online.

The band's new album 'Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino' is still causing waves, with the title track set to gain a seven inch vinyl pressing.

The single will be released on November 30th, with brand new song 'Anyways' set to be placed on the B-side.

Alongside this, Arctic Monkeys have decided to share their short film Warp Speed Chic online in its entirety.

Directed by Ben Chappell, it initially featured in the AM:ZM exhibitions at the start of the year. The director comments:

“After spending a year documenting Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino I wanted to try and pull it all together in a short film. I spent a few weeks with the band in France documenting the recording process with my 16mm camera in September 2017. At that point I was still only hearing bits and pieces of the tunes as they were being recorded.”

“Nearly a year later I was on stage with them in Lyon France shooting some of those same tunes. When the film came back from the lab I put the live songs next to my shots of them recording and found it to be quite nice. With that as a starting point, I then used James Ford's instrumental mixes of the album and put an assortment of the images we created for this album overtop giving a glimpse into the last year and the full progression of Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.”

Tune in now.
