New Arctic Monkeys video: Cornerstone

Video: Arctic Monkeys – “Cornerstone”

The next single from Humbug, this one’s a ballad with typically clever lyrics about bumping into a series of girls who bears a passing resemblance to your ex: “She was close / Close enough to be your ghost / But my chances turned to toast / When I asked her if I could call her your name…” Who knew Alex Turner would turn into such a crooner! He totally pulls it off.

The video, directed by Richard Ayaode, keeps it simple. But it’s hardly boring.
