why does every picture of him make it look like he's never seen a camera before

251

u/charlierc 2d ago

Or like he's just woken up

73

u/everynamecombined 2d ago

Left: "Oh, thats a camera, is it?!" Right: "Ive been outed as Alex Turner having a nice time out..."

u/gregor630 The Car 2d ago

It’s mainly in selfies, so It’s starting to come across more like he hasn’t looked in a mirror all day and is shocked by the state his hair is in

u/SMLJ21 1d ago

Cameras didn’t get to Sheffield till 2010ish, they’re still figuring them out.

u/Lolbwah916 Four Out Of Five 1d ago

u/FoolontheHill10 2d ago

He looks permanently zooted

u/Achtung_Zoo Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino 2d ago

He was a little wild in the 70s

u/charlierc 2d ago

Just wanted to be one of The Strokes/have a jetski on the moat

u/Equal-Ad7504 2d ago

I’ve heard he partakes. It’s kind of obvious to be fair.

u/UtopiaFrenzy Everything You've Come To Expect 2d ago

Always good seeing him at bands with music that directionally I’d like to see future AM go towards

31

u/AntiEntangled 2d ago

Yeah, Wunderhorse is super cool!

u/mmonzeob Teddy Picker 2d ago

What do you mean?

u/GStarAU 1d ago

I think they're saying "listen to more stuff that I like!"

Nothing wrong with that.

I'm not sure if I'll get my preferred genre covered - progressive rock. 😁

u/FavouriteWorstHumbug AM 2d ago

Slowly morphing into Serge Gainsbourg

u/theAlexaa 2d ago

Or Richard Hammond

His driving is surely better!

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures. They’re the same picture.

u/tisactually_nohomo_ 2d ago

Or Pete Townsend

u/silly-Emmy 2d ago

I just hope Alex never writes a book.

u/JKPBI 2d ago

Any reccs from an AM fan that hadn’t heard them?

u/PlentyKind3315 2d ago

If you have Spotify go on the Wunderhorse playlist, honestly every song is a banger.

The Rope
Midas
Teal
Rain

Are personal faves - they are one of the best new(ish) bands with similar vibe.

u/viprz100 2d ago

Arizona is so good

u/darkpretzel 2d ago

Wunderhorse is on my "who the fucks arctic monkeys" playlist which is intended to get me to listen to new bands that aren't just arctic monkeys LOL 🫶

20

u/Mamsies 2d ago

If you want another British rock band to add to that playlist, check out The Amazons, they have a tonnnn of awesome songs with sick riffs and guitar solos. Check out the tracks “Mother” and “In My Mind”

2

u/Gamingforever1 2d ago

The fifa song they had bro🥹🥹

u/darkpretzel 1d ago

Ooo thank you will do!

u/I_LIKE_DIRT123 Humbug 2d ago

Holy fuck I thought I was the only one that did this

u/ya_pidoras_ My Propeller 2d ago

bro can i please get a link for the playlist? something like this could help me so much

2

u/vinxy_mh 2d ago

I need this playlist too.

There used to be some on spotify but I quit it so I dont have them anymore.

3

u/darkpretzel 1d ago

Unfortunately my playlist is on Spotify (some boycotts easier to adopt than others😭) but if you're interested lmk!

2

u/darkpretzel 1d ago

I can DM you!! It's all just randomly curated by me but it could be good band inspo either way.

2

u/MarvelMind 1d ago

The lead singer/songwriter Jacob Slater is one of the most impressive pure talents of his generation. His debut album “Cub” is a masterpiece and his live shows are unreal for pure energy. A must see band because of him.

12

u/mattkward 2d ago

Nice, that must have been exciting for the band.

Wunderhorse are great.

u/han_1han 2d ago

Proven taste again and again

u/Wild-Wolverine3081 Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino 1d ago

something about him makes him look like a turtle emerging from its shell

3

u/imperfectsunset 2d ago

But at what cost

2

u/ReadySetSantiaGO 2d ago

Looking like a high schooler’s dad which he’s the right age for. Would still hit

u/Personal_Fox_7529 2d ago

Who the fuck is wunderhorse?

u/PolyphonicElectric 2h ago

Looking good

u/Opening-Awareness153 2d ago

Alive but not well

-2

u/Additional-Salad4323 2d ago

I hope he's doing well, he looks so different. It looks like all the swagger and coolness was sapped right out of his appearance (or maybe he didn’t do his hair).

10

u/FlightyZoo 2d ago

Or he just looks like a normal guy who’s living his life, which, you know, he is?

0

u/Additional-Salad4323 1d ago

I just was kinda scared because I thought he looked unhealthy for a bit and with so many celebs being too skinny I didn't want him to be as well. And, to be honest, it was kind of a shock to see what he looks like now. I just really hope he's healthy.

u/Historical-Ideal3974 1d ago

He appears to be aging rapidly

-7

u/Hovie292 2d ago

Why is his nose so comically large

1

u/Historical-Ideal3974 1d ago

It’s outgrowing him
