- Arctic Monkeys - Warp Speed Chic (Full Film)
Director: Ben Chappell
"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 I 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." - Ben Chappell

Stunning documentary that no one else unfortunately saw.
Good one! hahahaha
I’ve been driving ‘round listening to the scooooooooooooore
@@afilmbyjakejones or maybe i just imagined it all
Such beautiful photography
Bear with me man, i lost my train of thought
alex on drums, alex in a bun, alex with grandpa clothes, alex dancing to grease, alex
You also see Nick on guitar and Jamie on piano
yes
@Samya Sharma 11:43
too much cursed stuff
I was almost gonna miss it You saved me Thankyou💕
How can something feel so old and futuristic at the same time
Because it travels back to the futurism of the past. The vision of the future portrayed in this album is what was portrayed in the 1950's - 1960's with hints of the 70's drizzled atop and flakes of the energy of the 1980's sprinkled in so it's incredibly futuristic while at the same time feeling nostalgic
"The way some science fiction does"
It's called retrofuturism!
Retro futurism. It's a big concept on the album. I mean Blade Runner and all of that is obviously influencing on him
it's called retrofuturism :))
It’s really sad that people called this album pretentious for going in a new direction. Its style was a long time coming. Since humbug, their speed has been slowing and their style maturing - the latest product of their progression is this lyrical masterpiece.
100% agree. Bands that grow and develop are good bands. Sure, their early stuff was and is still amazing, but imagine how boring it'd be after 5, 6+ albums. By far the best AM album.
Yes
Will Monham never heard anyone say that lol
@@alexanderforever they do, and they want to pretend like TBH&C is not part of Arctic monkeys discography, it's something that's been going on since the release of AM, people are never happy...
Even though I prefer the older stuff I love this album. It’s beautiful and I respect it. Every tour they have a mix of their songs and that’s great. Alex’s voice has just matured over time and so has his lyrics !
the ultracheese was so incredibly underrated and most definitely one of their best songs yet. i said what i said
exactly
aynen öyle bacım
gibsterz :p so so so underrated. I get goosebumps when i listen to it
YES
Star treatment has this heavenly arrangement that could just go on forever
TBH&C is actually one of my favorite albums, it is a MASTERPIECE. What most people don't get is that this is meant to be listened to as an album from start to finish, not as a conjunction of single songs.
as you read the lyrics, it's almost like a comic
Like most good albums
It's a masterpiece of story told in song form. Very reminiscent of the story telling done by pink floyd with the prominent bass lines and dreamlike state it puts you in
Exactly, it’s a concept album
every album should be listened to from beginning to end, most albums have some sort of story
This video made me deeply nostalgic for something I have never experienced.
Giulia Pugliese exactly same
Perfect description of how I'm feeling 😆
That is actually perfectttttttt ugh
poetisou agora, gostei
pretty much sums up the vibe of the entire album
This is like watching an old documentary from an old band during their best years which no longer releases new music because some of their members have died but, in the end, you are living at the same time as all of them and do have the chance to see and hear them live and not only from a screen.
You mean The Beatles
huh, who died?
@@alessiamitru880 no one has died, Ceci said "it's like watching old band which no longer releases new music cause some of their member have died, but then you remember, that everyone is still alive and you have a chance to see them live"
ikr
These Guys are MAGICAL😍😳🎉🎊😱😵🏁😘😘😘❤️✨🦄🤣🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🥞
how many talents do you have?
Alex:yes
Is there anything this man can’t do 😩
@@magentadevice5305 frrr
@@magentadevice5305 be with me lol
This was so short. I could watch this for 3 hours straight.
300th like >:)
Kinda sad that I didn't get into Arctic Monkeys sooner, but honestly I'm just happy to have heard them at all
RIGHT
THIS
you and Del won't do
@@paramthakkar7120 despairing in the departure lounge rn 😔
It's better than to never having heard them! I remember as a teen I loved old 60s music and wondered what it would have been like to hear a classic upon release. I was already into Arctic Monkeys, but when Leave Before The Lights Came On was released, that was something truly special and made me feel that feeling I always wondered about
It’s a shame that the monkeys lost some recognition and popularity when they released this album as viewing it being created is like this is like watching a magnificent painting being slowly painted. Then again, I guess popularity doesn’t matter and it’s more about the quality of music and in this case I believe that this album is one if not the best of Arctic monkeys. From the composition, lyrics, visuals and style of the album👌🏼
in the end, what matters the most is how much the musician liked his music, not everyone. I'm glad anyway that they, despite all the criticism, still make good music (and probably enjoy doing it, as we can see).
Warren Hoyt Yep totally
Similar to nirvana in that aspect
This Man Is INCREDIBLE Ma Cheri 💕🌌❤️😱😘😎
Peep all the bands that copied or got influenced from this album not just the music but the style and look
Why is no one talking about how great Golden Trunks sounds with those 80s horror film synths?
Luis G. M.García more like 70's italian movies giallos
One of my favorites of the album, the vocal harmonies get me
YES
Right?? It’s my favourite on the album
FOR REAL
Tranquility Base Hotel+Casino is a masterpiece

this felt like a trip through a time machine watching the beatles or the stones make an album.... it's so refreshing to see a modern band that has received huge 'mainstream' success stay true and creative and not just start churning out 'sludge' as alex T would put it haha. one of the few greats of our time. people will look back on this video in years to come. what a cool bunch of dudes.
Yesssssssss
You were right buddy, looking back on it in 2023:)

Emma Torode underrated comment 😂
😂😂😂🤣😂💔
yeees
Omg this comment is my bloody life😂
This comment actually made me chuckle lmao
For me, Arctic Monkeys is Arctic Monkeys. They're not like any other band, they don't resemble any other band, they're authentically them, Arctic Monkeys. And people need to stop speculating, thinking they know them, what 'style' they do. Bcoz the fact is, you don't know them, no matter what. They should do what they want, how they like, their own style, not to please anybody without feeling the need to prove anybody, to live up everyone else's expectations. And if anyone keeps complaining how this isn't 'them'/ its not their style or bluffing anything like they 'know' them. Then, maybe you might have to reconsider calling yourself a 'fan'?. 'They provoke you into something you're not, but still not liking the 'you' they've created' i personally think this is how human r nowadays. Never satisfied. Always thinking they 'know' but never actually try to understand and listen. This is my opinion, feel free to have yours.
every album is different, and i love that about them! for me, a band that always stays the same, its not very good. arctic monkeys do something diferent in every album, and every time, its fuckin genius.
I discovered them 2 months ago and they've become my all-time favorite band. I love that all their albums sound different from each other and Alex's lyricism in their songs.
Preach
@@Fiammaaa Even on their earlier stuff, you're lying if you told me that Whatever people say, FWN and Humbug sound the same.
facts man i doubt 19 year old alex would imagine writing anything like this
This film makes me want a full instrumental only version of tbhc
well.. someone did it
@@sebastianseveso who did?
ua-cam.com/video/a3Xw3jlmE4Q/v-deo.html
Could basically be a whole movie score :/
Then use it for the backsound of a scifi movie
Here we are in quarantine watching this all over again ...
the atmosphere this vid exudes is immaculate also alex dresses like he is about to direct the grand budapest hotel
Wes Anderson should have Arctic monkeys' music on his movies. So hyped to watch the French dispatch
Oh my god, this is so 70's
It's like see a Film-Documentary (but modern).
Like Stanley :)
Cus it was
Well isn't this a stunning documentary. 4 stars out of 5. Will definitely be driving round, listening to the score
this made me laugh too hard
I was really excited to see that film up on the wall, it was advertised in imaginative ways. The religious iconography gave me the creeps however.
Bear with me man I lost my train of thought
Such beautiful cinematography.
worth it for the opening scene
ok but that recording studio is really aesthetic change my mind
ikr
Watching this after the "View from..." videos is incredible. This whole experience has just been four mates from Sheffield hanging out, having fun, and making some damn good music in the process. I love this group, and I can't wait to see what's in store for the coming years.
Dude. They have been up to some beautiful stuff. The Car is just an amazing album that grows so nicely around you!
never clicked so fast in my life
Sssaaamme
😂
guess you could say you clicked as fast as warpspeed
SAMEE
me lmfao
Alex is one of the only frontmen who can actually play every instrument
To the people that said that this was Alex's solo project, I think the footage provides enough evidence against that. You can see everyone is invested in the progression and making of the album. I know this album isn't for everyone but you can see that the lads are enjoying and loving their craft. Regardless of the reception that this album got, I highly respect Turner and Co for pushing their sound and craft. Good work lads.
Thats exactly that I thought too! Yeah sure, Turner probably had the opening piano riffs for some tracks but TBH+C is a collective work. hell, theres about 9 people in room at one point.
Can’t it be both though? Not trying to be a dick just saying this project can be pioneered by Alex and his vision yet still (obviously) include the band as a whole. I mean they are all going to be playing these songs night after night it makes sense for them to play it for the recording as well. This album was a concept album which means Alex had a certain sound and theme he was trying to create to get the story told properly and the band put their own twist on the sound leading to the final product. I think the whole “this is an Alex turner solo album” and “this is a full collaboration of he band” both have some truth and much like everything in life the real answer lies somewhere in between. The result is what matters and this album was a 10/10 in my book simply for being absolutely unique and creating yet another signature sound for the Monkeys... can’t wait to hear the B sides
Edward Jimenez pretty much this, this whole album was Alexs vision. But everybody working on it had several hands in making it into what it became
@@ejj9956 You just put Alex on a pedestal. I don't think even he himself thinks highly of (himself) listen to Jamie's riffs on humbug or Nick's bass on tbhc or Matt's drumming almost anywhere. If something seems alien to you don't start automatically assuming stuff. The new wave of fans think that Alex Turner is the Arctic monkeys and that clearly isn't. They're just mates trying to make good music.
yoyoyyayable yoyo trust me I’m anything but a new fan.... been following their stuff since FWN you’re actually making my point.... just listen to the licks throughout AMs discography with the guitar/drums etc... listen to the mates on their own stuff recently then compare it to what you hear on the album... better yet listen to the last shadow puppets stuff then Tranquility base... this is Alex’s vision and the band helped realize it. If they had no restrictions you really think we would hear this kind of drumming from the legend himself? Suck it and see was a perfect example of what this band can sound like with everyone going all in, this new album is amazing but like I said it’s CLEARY Alex’s vision and a concept album meaning their where guidelines in terms of sound for the band to stick too while creating the project. I’ll say it one more time I LOVE the album I saw them live 2 weeks ago and the new stuff was awesome but its clearly heavily influenced by Alex rather then the band as a whole. He went for a 70’s hotel on the side of a highway in outer space on a warm summers night lol the sound is awesome and paints a beautiful visual that came from Alex more then anyone else. As I said in the first comment this is still a Monkeys album not a Turner solo project but it’s more so one then anything they have done before. It gets a 4 out of 5 and the B sides should be MADNESS can’t wait.
My ears are blessed
and your eyes too
@@cadelittle9059 what
5:49 that transition was _SMOOTH_
Love it
A stunning documentary
James Sigley such beautiful photography
William Le Joly Its worth it for the opening scene
That no one else unfortunately saw
I've been driving 'round listening to the score
Or maybe I just imagined it all
alex needs to share his favourite films and books 'cause i knew MAN GOT TASTE
2 years later: what a masterpiece
I felt it at the time too, lyrically an untouchable microcosm of cultural insight into a musically inept decade… it was the monkey’s white album in effect
Such beautiful photography, it's worth it for the opening scene.
sorry hate to be 'that guy' but for film the term is cinematography. the more you know!
This gives me such a 70's Beatles vibe: production, style, heavy bass. But so uniquely their own. Looove it.
alex looks like george harrison, right?
@@heruupras YES!! I have always seen that resemblance 😍
Don’t think the Beatles were a band in the 70s but I know what u mean
9:42 abbey road
I mean it makes sense. It has some very beatles moments, but ultimately is more seventies than sixties.
As a huge fan of the beatles an album like this makes me really happy.
it hurts how overlooked this album is
The dislikes are from those that have never seen blade runner
Vegetto Blue whadya mean?
Turner said that line is about him, guess he disliked
vimeo.com/292825484
They are the type of people that give 1 out of 5, wont even give at lease 4 stars outta 5. Haters that didnt get their free trial today im guessing...
Whaddya mean they’ve never seen bladerunner?
When Alex said “All I wanted to be was one of the Strokes,” I felt that.
You know it could have a deeper meaning. "One" of The Strokes. Albert Hammond jr was dating Alexa Chung
@@YTPEXPERT noooo I'll cry
this album captures a feeling that’s hard to put into words. what a masterpiece.
This just saved me woww
biggie smols brand new meme content Hahaha
I expect a new meme video in the next 24 hours.

I've seen you on another vid and I don't know where but hello
Nuh i cant express how much i love this album, this album really deserves more recognition istg
I just noticed that a AM was inspired by the 50's and greasers and such but I feel like they implemented a lot of 70's themes into the Tranquility album. I absolutely love how calming this album is compared to last one which was more fast paste. It's really cool how they can just change their theme and style of music on a whim yet still sound like it was made by Arctic Monkeys and that's why I love this band. They always have something new.
fast paste
@@mmhoss ikr
i’d love for them to do something involving the 30s or 40s like more jazzy sort of

You are the hero we need
No need for the track list. Shit lasts less than 15 mins xD
Yes we need the track list!! Thanks!!
I recently got into Arctic Monkeys during the pandemic, and I haven't been the same. Every album, they reinvent their sound in a way that feels fresh and exciting, but still true to their roots. I've listened to all of their albums and own five of their CDs, I love them all, but TBHC just completely blew me away. The lyrics are dripping with rich, metaphoric lyrics that reveal poignant themes about isolation, capitalism, and how technology and social media affects our society. Every time I listen to it, I find something new to love about it. It's complex, and witty, its swanky and ethereal, and fully makes you feel like a washed-out singer in a glamourous moon hotel during the 1970s and 2170s simultaneously.
They need to make more of these I love seeing the process of making their albums
Alex apparently filmed their recording sessions of The Car so the footage is out there, maybe they'll release it some time
They played this months back in NYC at their Tranquility Base pop-up shop. So glad it's finally up on UA-cam.
SUDDENLY I LOVE MY LIFE MY VISION IS 20/20 AND IM HEALTHY
It’s amazing seeing all the effort put into TBH+C , such a masterpiece
If they made merch that had the "take it easy for a little while" or "come and stay with us" slogans in that red font on like a black tee....... OOF
You could say that merch would sell like ghost cookies..
TAKE MY MONEY😍😍
Brandon Roldan “maybe i was a little to wild in the 70’s?”
I made a tshirt of 'come and stay with us' :) check it out here, various sizes and colors: www.redbubble.com/people/christiegh/works/43808420-come-and-stay-with-us-arctic-monkeys-tbhc-white?p=womens-relaxed-fit&asc=u
Will consider making a 'take it easy for a little while' or 'maybe i was a little too wild in the 70's'
Or the slogan “what do you mean you’ve never seen blade runner?” OOOOOF I’ll buy 12 of them!!!!!
It has become a tradition to come back here every couple of months
Sopa do macaco
his vocal range is stunning, it's so cool to look back at being a teenager and blasting their music, to this time, appreciating the melody and magic of their development and growing. new album is an absolute masterpiece, rich and mystic, love their approach!
FINALLY B SIDE. I also hope they release instrumentals for this album. It is pure sex
Honestly its 200% more cacophonous w alex's rambling lyrics. I have a deeper appreciation now I've heard the instrumentals.
Hey, you fuck. I was further agreeing to Martin's comment by expressing a exaggerated take on MY opinion. Jesus christ you are childish. Probably bc you are a child. Physically and or mentally. Get a life.
6:22 me in the shower for 30 minutes straight
lmao exactly me, also
Yas but only louder😂
So true.
It's even better when the echo is just right
I can relate to 4:05 better
This video lacks Alex's Margaritas
This one is for old fans!
YAS OLD TIMERS!
But you can't see within their bodies, can you?

@@omermarom6592 Don't worry you'll get another chance

Alex looks like the King of England now. He is the King of Indie rock anyway.
I did not expect this but I'm all for it
I was so excited after the Dream Synopsis EP for things Alex would do with his voice in the future and I'm not disappointed one bit
This album is sincerely a MASTERPIECE! The Monkeys just keep getting better and better and never cease to amaze me with their music! It's really a shame that the majority of the people won't take the time to understand this magnificent album...
Alex wearing a clockwork orange t-shirt just confirms this album was based on Kubrick :D
All this confirms is that he likes Kubrick.
or Bowie, he also referred to both space (space oddity) and clockwork orange (girl loves me)
Suck it and see did it first
Yup. Busted.
This Arctic Monkeys' album is really nostalgic, but this video made me feel even more nostalgia
I honestly think TBHC is a modern masterpiece. It is lyrically stunning and very underrated musically.
These guys give me strong Beatles vibes... the style, the aesthetic, the evolution of music, the evolution of taste, the *Englishness* .... hopefully one day they'll get the same recognition
the sheer amount of talent in this video is mindblowing. im in awe.
Love this albums sound, concept, art, lyrics… 10/10
You know , I like the fact that Alex has friends who helps him complete his ideas even though they're weird AF. Wish my friends were like them too!
yeah
His ideas happened to make them all millionaires lol
@@seaniebp i don't think this is gonna make them millionaires tbh lol AM already did it, cause it was way more huge than this. This is more of like artistic masterpiece than the commercial success.
@@TomaszKalusMusic he wasn't talking about this album alone. Im pretty sure.
@@orangeporanges ya , he's Right
Wasn’t a huge fan of this album an initially but man has it grown on me.. looking forward to the vinyl release and their future releases
the amount of work that goes into making even one song is insane
this whole album gives me chills. it's a masterpiece
I’m so grateful because it’s 12 minutes long but I’m so sad because it’s only 12 minutes long
10:34 that synth part is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard in my life
What did I even do to deserve the instrumentals of golden trunks
Listen to TBH&C
I’m glad someone appreciated that as much as I did
AM are generous gods
Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino is Arctic Monkeys "Pet Sounds". Given that it was heavily inspired by it, it marks a shift in the AM dynamic and now they have entered a realm where they'll no longer cater to fans but cater to themselves and create art.
4:45 don't mind me
Remember that time you woke up at 2 am and for some reason, decided to watch this again. You went down stairs pretending no one's home, made a cup of coffee and 'sang / whispered' star treatment until you couldn't stay awake no more...
I did not want this video to end! :´(
It must be great for Alex to have friends who are willing to complete your ideas 👌
No. You're wrong
Stu D sorry what
Stu D no he‘s totally right. You think that matt, nick or jamie had any influence in the writing process? No!!
It must also be great to have someone who is willing to play the bass.
Poor Alex
this album has grown into me in such a way I will hold it dear to me forever
What do you mean you've never seen Warp Speed Chic?
the people who say that this album it's one of their worst are so very wrong, this album is just a masterpiece
I think I cried, it been 5 years from this and I'm still watching it like it's the first time
love
Was great to see. It should have been miles longer though.
I see what you did there.
It's cool how aesthetically in touch the studio is with the music, it must have been hard to sense reality during that process.
I have so many questions... the first being, when will we get the instrumental versions of these masterpieces?
yes please!
@Ramiro Garcia hes already got the CO shirt on. I'm sure it was influential in some way.
Documentaries like this gives more appreciation for the produced music
as a fan of the last record, it warms my heart to see it more and more people starting to appreciate it!
vintage vibe is strong with this one
I remember watching this in their exhibition in Sheffield
It’s left me with such a nostalgia it almost hurts
this album is just an absolute masterpiece. in my opinion one of
the best of all time
I’m dying this is beautiful
i’m so happy this exists
I feel so guilty cause I haven't seen blade runner. Sorry Alex, I'll watch it right away.
Never stop doing these kind of videos, please! We love them
Still fully in love with that album ❤
I can’t believe I got the chance to see them in person only three days ago I still have goosebumps such a big fan!
I can understand this whole project, the atmosphere... It's not just the sound.
This is beautiful, I have looked at this for 2 years now.......
1:02
Matt's face is like "What're trying to do here Alex? I don't know what you want me to do."
