Arctic Monkeys return to America this December, kicking off a series of dates on December 6th in Chicago. The band are also set to release “Cornerstone,” the second single from their recent album Humbug (Domino Records), which debuted at #1 on the UK charts. The 10" release will feature three new b-sides – “Catapult,” “Sketchead,” and “Fright Lined Dining Room” – and will be available digitally on Tuesday, November 17th and physically on Tuesday, December 8th. 

Additionally, Arctic Monkeys have finished the video for “Cornerstone.” Directed by Richard Ayoade, who also shot videos for the guys’ hit single “Fluorescent Adolescent" and Humbug’s first single "Crying Lightning," you can watch 'Cornerstone' HERE.

“Humbug’s finest moment is “Cornerstone.” Rolling Stone (4 stars)

"The whimsical and heartbreaking "Cornerstone" is without a doubt the best song on the Arctic Monkeys' recent Humbug LP, so the fact that it's being released as the record's next single is very good news." Pitchfork
