To the delight of Arctic Monkeys fans everywhere I’m sure, last night their new “Fluorescent Adolescent” video debuted on Channel 4. The official release date for the Sheffield band’s second single off of Favourite Worst Nightmare is set for July 9th, 2007 in the UK.

About the “Fluorescent Adolescent” video and the tracklisting from the Arctic Monkeys’ website:

The lyrical narration is supported by a striking video directed by Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd/Nathan Barley), starring Stephen ‘Scummy Man’ Graham (Snatch/Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels) and a rather scary bunch of clowns.
