Another new tune from Arctic Monkeys’ fourth long-player, the curiously titled and shittily cover-art-ed Suck it and See, shows the Sheffield quartet continuing its quest into the dark terrain trampled on the slightly dour Humbug. But as with even the worst Arctic Monkeys songs, there’s always Alex Turner’s showy wordplay to lessen the blow. Alas, “Don’t Sit Down Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair” is a far cry from the band’s worst. It sports a twisted, rocker riff replete with borderline shoegaze “oohs” and a dose of sunny harmonies. And more of Turner’s ace lyrics.

The band has two sweeps across the US planned over the next few months. However, if you live in the South, you’re foiled again. Dates via Pitchfork after the break.
