There'd Better Be A Mirrorball sees Turner at his lyrical best, giving the vocal performance of his life in what sounds like a reflective and mournful breakup track.

The song is the second cut to be taken from the band's forthcoming seventh studio album, The Car, which is set for release on 21st October this year, following the debut of I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am.

The Car features 10 new songs written by Alex Turner, produced by James Ford and recorded at Butley Priory, Suffolk, RAK Studios, London and La Frette, Paris.

"On this record, sci-fi is off the table. We are back to earth”, Turner told Martin Compston in a new interview with The Big Issue.

"I think we’ve got closer to a better version of a more dynamic overall sound with this record,” he went on. “The strings on this record come in and out of focus and that was a deliberate move and hopefully everything has its own space. There’s time the band comes to the front and then the strings come to the front.”
