The band reunited in 2012 and began working on new material, eventually settling in Malibu, California, to record "AM" with producer James Ford. The album's sound is characterized by its dark, brooding tone, and a blend of psychedelic rock, indie rock, and R&B influences.

The album's sound is marked by Turner 's distinctive vocals, which range from soft and melodic to raw and aggressive. The band's instrumentation is equally impressive, with Jamie Cook's guitar work and Nick O'Malley's basslines creating a rich, textured sound.

The album has since been certified platinum in the UK and has had a lasting impact on the music scene. "AM" is widely regarded as one of the best albums of the 2010s, and its influence can be heard in many contemporary rock bands.

"AM" is the fifth studio album by English rock band Arctic Monkeys, released on September 9, 2013, through Columbia Records. The album marks a significant departure from the band's earlier work, exploring a more mature and experimental sound.
