The Story Behind the Album
Written by lead vocalist and guitarist Alex Turner on a piano, "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" features a lush sound that is heavily influenced by science fiction and film (particularly neo-noir) from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. The album's lyrics explore politics, religion, and technology, making it a thought-provoking and visually stunning work.

The album's opening track, "Star Treatment," sets the tone for the rest of the record, with its dreamy atmosphere and Turner's distinctive vocals. Other notable tracks include "One Point Perspective" and "American Sports," which showcase the band's ability to create catchy hooks and memorable riffs. The album's closer, "Batphone," is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Turner's poetic lyrics.
