Background and recording


In May 2022, drummer Matt Helders said the album "picks up where the other one left off musically" and that it's "never gonna be like 'R U Mine?' again".[3]

In August 2021, Peter Harrison, the cook at the Butley Priory in Suffolk, posted a photograph of himself with the band to his Instagram account. Several hours later a screenshot of the Butley Priory website, confirming the band had been recording there in June and July also went viral, though was quickly removed.[4]

The Car was recorded primarily in 2021 at Butley Priory in Suffolk, La Frette in Paris, and RAK Studios in London.[5] All tracks were written by Alex Turner, with Jamie Cook also credited on "Sculptures of Anything Goes" and Tom Rowley co-writing "Jet Skis on the Moat" and "Mr Schwartz".


Promotion


The album was announced on 24 August 2022, and is set for release on 21 October of the same year. The album's lead single, "There'd Better Be a Mirrorball" was released with an accompanying music video on 30 August 2022.[6]


Artwork


The album's cover artwork was revealed on the same day of the album's announcement.[7] The picture was taken by the band's drummer Matt Helders using a Leica M6 film camera[8] and shows a white Toyota Corolla (E90) parked alone on a rooftop parking lot in Los Angeles.[9][10]
