On the heels of "Crying Lightning" and seeing the Arctic Monkeys on a boat, the band's Humbug LP offers up another dark and dense serving via "My Propeller." It's another listen of a band maturing, a brooding minor-key rocker that again shows the gritty touch of its producer, Josh Homme. Alex is looking for a little help getting his propeller started (ladies). Get involved, he's looking good these days.
