Arctic Monkeys made the very wise choice of picking “Cornerstone” as the 2nd official single from Humbug. It is by far my favorite song from Humbug, and it may just be my favorite Arctic Monkeys track at the moment. (My all time favorite will always be A Certain Romance).
This announcement was actually made last week, but I put it off until now. It actually worked out because the groovey album art that you see for the single just came out today!
Here are the details of the release, which includes the format of the realeases, along with the b-sides. You know, the stuff you really care about!
Here they are:
7″ Vinyl
A: Cornerstone
B: Catapult
10 ” Vinyl
A: Cornerstone
A1: Catapult
B: Sketchead
B1: Fright Lined Dining Room
Digital Download
1. Cornerstone
2. Catapult
3. Sketchead
4. Fright Lined Dining Room
Sketchead was already released as an itunes exclusive, so that is included just to get it out there physically. The other two b-sides are “Catapult” & “Fright Lined Dining Room”, both songs that I have never heard of. New material is always good, especially when they are b-sides. Arctic Monkeys have to rival Oasis with some of the strongest b-sides of all time!
The video for “Cornerstone” will debut on TV in the UK on Thursday, so check back then for the proper Youtube link or two.
The single is due out November 16th!
