‘Working with Alex [Turner], he’s very structured. We’d go to work and he would say, “Okay, we’re working on this,” and I was like, “Let’s go get a coffee! Do you want to go here? Let’s watch TV!“’ - Alexandra Savior / +

Can you talk about the choice of the title [Humbug]? When it came about and sort of how it came about?

ALEX: […] We always have, like, dozens of titles, but they’re normally sorta… pretty ridiculous, for the most of them. Like, I mean, eh… MATT: ‘Lesbian Wednesdays’… That were on the shortlist for second record as well. It came back in for third, we didn’t learn us lesson. INT.: Did someone shut down that ‘Lesbian Wednesdays’ title? MATT: Not as quick as you’d think, no!

“The choice is simple: You can either keep chasing an elusive past, relying on your fans’ nostalgia, or you can press on, keeping your gaze fixed forward. The first option is easier, but Humbug admirably takes the second.” —THE GUARDIAN, 2009.

“The heroic vision of the Monkeys has culminated in a brooding and dauntingly dark album, which is, from start to finish, their strongest and most accomplished work to date. Perhaps the endless vista of the desert did infiltrate their imaginations, or perhaps they were always destined for greatness. Either way, ‘Humbug’ is a triumph of courage and impudence, and one giant step forward for this country’s most impressive youngsters.” —CLASH MUSIC, 2009.

“Put aside all thoughts of imminent backlash immediately, as Humbug is Arctic Monkeys’ most enjoyably complete album to date [...] They incorporate elements of rock‘n’roll past to fuel a very modern affair, and that it manages to sound completely unique is testament indeed to Turner and company’s cultivated creative nous.” —THE BBC, 2009.

HAPPY 10 YEARS OF HUMBUG (AUGUST 19, 2009).
