Am _record

Released in 2013, AM is the fifth studio album by English rock band Arctic Monkeys — and it is their magnum opus. Produced by James Ford and co‑produced by Ross Orton at Sage & Sound Recording in Los Angeles and Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, the album marked a bold artistic leap, fusing desert rock swagger with hip‑hop influenced grooves, R&B soul, and arena‑ready hooks. AM debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart, was named British Album of the Year at the 2014 Brit Awards, and has since been certified multi‑platinum worldwide, selling over five million copies. It is widely regarded as one of the defining rock albums of the 2010s.

The album is propelled by a hypnotic wall of fuzzy guitars, thundering basslines, and Alex Turner‘s signature croon, which oscillates between sleazy bravado and aching vulnerability. From the instantly iconic, creeping riff of “Do I Wanna Know?“ and the breakneck urgency of “R U Mine?“ to the slow‑burning allure of “Why‘d You Only Call Me When You‘re High?“ and the hip‑hop infused stomp of “Knee Socks“, AM delivers a dozen near‑perfect tracks. It also includes a breathtaking recitation of John Cooper Clarke‘s poem “I Wanna Be Yours“, turning it into a melancholic, hip‑hop‑tinged closer. Guest appearances by Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Bill Ryder‑Jones (The Coral), and Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello) add further texture and grit.

This vinyl pressing is the definitive version for collectors and audiophiles. The heavyweight 180‑gram black vinyl is housed in a gatefold sleeve, faithfully replicating the original 2013 release. Inside, you‘ll find a lyric sheet and a digital download code for the full album. Whether you are a longtime fan or just discovering the band, AM on vinyl is a revelation — warm, dynamic, and powerful.
