DESCRIPTION

Submarine (Original Songs From The Film) features six original songs written and performed by Alex Turner, frontman of Arctic Monkeys, for Richard Ayoade’s acclaimed 2010 coming-of-age film Submarine. Released in 2011 through Domino, the soundtrack marked Turner’s first major solo project and offers a more intimate, understated side of his songwriting.

Inspired by the film’s characters and story, Turner’s songs capture the awkwardness, uncertainty, romance, and melancholy of teenage life. The collection includes “Stuck on the Puzzle (Intro),” “Hiding Tonight,” “Glass in the Park,” “It’s Hard to Get Around the Wind,” “Stuck on the Puzzle,” and “Piledriver Waltz.” Together, the six tracks form a concise and atmospheric musical companion to Oliver Tate’s complicated journey through first love and family life.

Musically, Submarine moves away from the energetic guitar-driven sound associated with Arctic Monkeys, instead embracing acoustic guitar, delicate arrangements, intimate vocals, and subtle orchestral touches. Turner worked with producer James Ford, while Bill Ryder-Jones contributed to the recordings and Owen Pallett arranged strings. The result is a tender, stripped-back collection that reveals a different dimension of Turner’s songwriting.

The soundtrack perfectly complements Ayoade’s distinctive visual style and the film’s blend of awkward comedy, romance, and emotional vulnerability. Songs such as “Hiding Tonight” and “Stuck on the Puzzle” have become particularly associated with the film, while “Piledriver Waltz” would later be reworked by Arctic Monkeys for their 2011 album Suck It and See.

Submarine (Original Songs From The Film) is an essential release for fans of Alex Turner, Arctic Monkeys, indie rock, and film soundtracks, offering a beautifully understated snapshot of one of the artist’s most distinctive songwriting projects.

Common Questions

What does 'pre-order' mean?

A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page.

Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.

I ordered a pre-order and an in-stock item. When will they ship?

If you place an order containing both pre-order and in-stock items, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any pre-ordered items. If you prefer not to wait, please place separate orders.

Pre-order items have an (expected) release date noted on the product page. We typically ship these items several days before their release date to ensure that you receive the record on—or as close as possible to—the release date.

The color of my vinyl differs from the image shown

Vinyl is a delicate material, and each pressing is unique. This means that some products may appear slightly different in person compared to their images on our website. We create mock-ups to provide the best possible representation of our products. Nevertheless, due to the distinctive pressing process of these items, we cannot guarantee they will look exactly the same as depicted. Color variations may occur, so please keep this in mind while shopping with us.

While your product might slightly differ from the picture on our website, it also means you possess a truly one-of-a-kind, very rare copy!
