Hot on the heels of their
eakout single “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor”, their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not confirms Sheffield’s Arctic Monkeys as the UK underground’s most proselytizing young preachers of the DIY gospel.Marrying nervy, caffeine-and-cigarettes indie clatter to conversational, pretense-free lyrics and the occasional burst of off-the-cuff eloquence (“No time for Montagues or Capulets/Just banging tunes and DJ sets,” proffers “Dancefloor”), it’s an instant, pulse-racing hit. No question, the Monkeys are more sinners than saints.Heavyweight vinyl pressed by Domino Recording Co. Includes download card.
