Do I Wanna Know?- Arctic Monkeys
So my track of the day has come off one of the greatest albums this year AM from the ever brilliant Arctic monkeys.
This song brings out the deeper, darker lyrics sung by Alex Turner and has a smooth sultry sense which can be related to Presley and Bowie. Over a dusty guitar riff and a drum beat that starts out almost like a glam stomp, Alex Turner proves that years spent living in America haven’t completely smoothed out his Sheffield accent, relishing the line “summat in your teeth” in the first verse giving us evidence against the people who have said ‘Arctic Monkeys have forgotten their roots.’
Safe to say this song will be one of my favourite this year, and let’s face it… who hasn’t listened to this song and imagined Alex Turner telling you to ‘Simmer down and pucker up’.
