The superlative

You're about to play like the smallest crowd maybe in years tonight, or?

Yeah, it's been a while since we've done a little one like this.

Yeah, how's that like different from the huge shows that you're used to right now with this tiny, cozy venue?

Maybe there'll be, the obvious answer is that there'll be a bit more of a connection between us and the crowd.

Even just being able to see more people from the distance and just, yeah, I think it'd be nice.

Yeah, I mean, you know, this guy, he feeds off a crowd that he's connected with.

Yeah, I'm going to learn everybody's name.

All of that and fireworks and everything.

You're about to release this new record, Dakar.

I'm sure you can't get too much into the specifics before it comes out at this point, but I'd love to know in both of your minds, like, how it relates to your previous record.

I mean, I think musically, yeah, we, as we've always tried to do, like the one that follows sort of takes a little bit something from the one before.

And there's a path that goes from the first album to this album.

It might not be like obvious and clear to everybody at first, but for us, it's definitely got a bit of that.

And it's like another extension of what we did last time.

But there's definitely, yeah, definitely a difference.

I think it seems to me possibly that when you look back after a period of time has passed, you notice more that the sound of each record sort of bleeding into the next one more than you perhaps felt like it did at the time.

Yeah, I think there's definitely, it follows on from the last one, but it feels a bit more open or something.

Yeah, that's the end of that sentence, it feels a bit more open.

You've been playing a few of the new songs live already, so the fans had to get some sneak previews, so to say.

And one of the songs you've performed is called Mr. Schwartz, if I pronounced it correctly.

It's a misconception that's going to be the bane of your existence.

Delmore Schwartz, is that what we're talking about?

But then another Mr. Schwartz came up, there's a, well, a Mrs. Schwartz actually came on me barometer the other day.

There's a George Saunders short story called Offloading Mrs. Schwartz, and I don't know, maybe subconsciously it's come from there or something, I've started to wonder.

I saw the name on the back of an Alfa Romeo underneath the taillight in a sort of, I'd love to know the name of the typeface, but I don't, but I'd sort of describe it as a like, 90s surfer, and it said Del Schwartz on the back of this.

So we had a song called that for a while that didn't make the record.

But it also actually leads to something of an Arctic Monkey's mystery, because before the song titles were, for the cover were made public, the fans found a playlist on Spotify named Del Schwartz that they think is yours.

The titles are very hard for me to pronounce.

I thought someone was like coughing as a clue of what to say there.

Unless it was his Alfa Romeo, that never occurred to me.

I think that's probably like, some time travel would have to be involved.

Yeah, but that's why the font looks like it was.

I mean, I don't know anything about that.

And I was wondering, because the third track of the album, Sculptures of Anything Goes, immediately stood out to me, because it's quite dark, almost ominous.

And I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit of the process behind that song, because it's so...

Yeah, that's kind of a bit of a different...

We haven't really been to that place, I don't think, before, sonically, quite.

I mean, to me, that does remind me a little bit of some of the...

Well, of some of the desert-ier side of the AM record from 2013.

It feels like there's still a bit of that dust in there, but it's...

Jamie, the guitar player, got a Moog synthesizer, and put a drum machine through it, and made that sound.

And we wrote a song based off that, really, is the succinct answer.

Yeah, so that sound was like the starting point for the rest of you to get into that vibe, or what is that song for you?

It started there, it became a million other things.
