Various - Late Night Tales: Arctic Monkeys

This latest Late Night Tale contains an exclusive cover version by Matt Helders (Arctic Monkeys) of Livin’ Joy’s ‘Dreamer’ and a exclusive spoken word written and narrated by Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys/Last of the Shadow Puppets). Compiled by the heatbeat of the band, drummer Matt Helders with a little help from band mate Alex Turner (see the track by track sleevenotes for his reasons for choosing each track).
Blending US and UK hip hop, dirty rock and roll, electro and soul to create a soundtrack of what you might hear at their winding down after a night out.
Starting off with the cinematic ‘Connexion’ by Goblin it runs through to Roots Manuva and DJ Format, classic proto punk from The Stooges and Jonny & The Hurricanes while the finale is saved for The Rapture’s epic ‘Olio’. But that’s not quite it, with an exclusive story ‘A Choice of Three’ penned and narrated by Alex Turner, it’s the perfect end to another Late Night Tales.
