"Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" is a song by English indie rock band Arctic Monkeys. It was released on 23 July 2018 as the second single from their sixth studio album of the same name, along with an accompanying music video.[1] On 16 October 2018, it was announced that a 7-inch vinyl version of the single would be released on 30 November 2018, alongside the previously unreleased B-side "Anyways".[2]
The music video was released on 23 July 2018 through the band's official YouTube Vevo account. It was directed by Ben Chappell and Aaron Brown who also directed the previous video for "Four Out of Five", and continues the Stanley Kubrick inspired visuals of the previous clip.[1] The video centres around Turner living in the titular hotel and casino, travelling around the floors and lounging in the leisure facilities. He also plays the role of "Mark", the hotel's resident concierge, answering the telephone and redirecting the calls. The video was shot at the Peppermill Reno in Reno, Nevada.[3] The moped which appears in the video is a Honda Elite 80.
