To cap-off a pretty massive year, Arctic Monkeys have delighted fans with an aptly-titled new b-side. Listen to 'You're So Dark' below. 

The song is taken from the flipside to new single 'One For The Road', and sees Alex Turner and co continue with the slow but searing approach taken on their record-breaking fifth album AM - with sexy results. 

With a John Cooper Clarke-esque wit and wordplay, Turner blends the gothic with the carnal in the intriguing lyrics: "You're so mysterious / Got that obsession with death / I saw you driving your Prius / And even that was Munster Koach-esque. You watch Italian horror and you listen to the scores / Leather-clad and spike collar / I want you down on all fours."

It's easy to see why the album almost ended up being called 'The New Black'.
