 The intro is a foretaste of the piece "Stuck on the Puzzle" where the piano appears, an unconventional instrument for Turner.

 Essential arrangements are complemented by lyrics that are decidedly more inspired compared to the Monkeys' recent works.

Highly recommended to fans and soundtrack lovers. Listen to Alex Turner's Submarine EP and explore a fresh, poetic indie folk soundtrack experience!
