Another nautical video adventure here, this time courtesy of the sure-fire swagger of England's Arctic Monkeys. It's a smoky, golden night at sea, and here the band crowd some tiny schooner, making their way across what will be an angry, broiling seas at times. And sure, that's all this sail away session seems it is, until they bump up against giant, hologram versions of themselves, rising from the depths and looming over their meager ship. It's an epic encounter indeed - one befitting of this band's ever on the move stature.

"Crying Lightning" is the first single from the band's new album Humbug, to be released August 25th on Domino Records. In support, the band are in the midst of a giant global tour. Check out our list of dates below. - David Pitz
