Arctic Monkeys release new single 'Body Paint' from 'The Car' - NME

Arctic Monkeys have released their new single ‘Body Paint’ today (September 29).

The song serves as the second preview of the band’s seventh studio album, ‘The Car’, which comes out on October 21 via Domino (pre-order here).

Yesterday (September 28), Clara Amfo announced on BBC Radio 1 that the single would air as the radio station’s ‘Hottest Record In The World’ at 6pm BST today.

During his first interview about ‘The Car’, Alex Turner told the Big Issue that Arctic Monkeys had come “back to earth” on the album following the divisive ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’.
