Arctic Monkeys

"Electricity"

BY Alex HudsonPublished Apr 18, 2012

On Record Store Day (April 21), Arctic Monkeys will release their non-LP single "R U Mine?" on purple seven-inch vinyl. On the B-side of said single will be another new tune called "Electricity," and now that song has hit the web.

In typical Arctic Monkeys fashion, the song is a spiky garage rock number with just a hint of reverb-tinged atmosphere that comes across in the distantly wailing guitar leads and background vocal harmonies.

It's not the most memorable tune in the band's oeuvre, but it would have sounded right at home on last year's Suck It and See, and that's a good thing. Listen below.
