And, The Mysterines shared: "Don’t Sit Down Cause We Are Supporting The F****** Arctic Monkeys."

Speaking about the new album, Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner recently said: "On this record [‘The Car’], sci-fi is off the table. We are back to earth.

“I think we’ve got closer to a better version of a more dynamic overall sound with this record. The strings on this record come in and out of focus and that was a deliberate move and hopefully everything has its own space. There’s time the band comes to the front and then the strings come to the front.”
