Arctic Monkeys have given us another great b-side! This time it is the itunes bonus track; “Sketchhead”. It sounds like it could have come off of the FWN b-side sessions. Almost like the big brother to “Nettles“. Really unusual melody/time signature. Turner is rapping a bit more so than singing.
You can’t help but get a sinister circus vibe from it, due in part to the dark keyboards. Matt’s drumming is in top form here. Overall a really nice tune, and yet another great b-side.

[...] 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! [...]
