Other influences are available
But, whatever the influence you hear in this track, this is very good indeed
Has Alex Turner been listening to Prefab Sprout?

I’m hearing a Scott Walker influence. Sounds good.

I really dislike it. This affectation he now has on his voice is a bit grating for me.
To be positive, I do like the keyboard line, that keeps it moving along nicely. It also sounds a lot better than anything from their last album which i really struggled with.
Your comment confirms I needn’t bother listening, as I loathe his vocal “style”.
I was going to ask who this chap is. I assumed he was a snooker player or somesuch.
I believe it’s the cove who sings in an invented language, Rob.
Sigur Ross Kemp?
Alex “Interesting” Turner. The housewifes’ poster boy who now heads a bangin’ rave band.
There are many dubious bands who have ‘made it big’, but the success of the Arctic Monkeys baffles me. I know a dozen people will come on here saying how amazing the lyrics are, but I’ve read enough John Cooper Clarke to know a rip-off when I hear it. Musically and melodically, they’re genuinely below Shed 7.
Honestly, the only bit of I heard a few years back was that ‘look good on the dancefloor’ song and it so obviously reeked of ‘street’ pretention, as well as being utterly redundant in terms of any genuine creative merit.
My son is Alex Turner and he doesn’t like sprouts
