Description
2016, 12″ LP, Domino.
More than merely an away break for its members Alex Turner and Miles Kane, The Last Shadow Puppets proved themselves on their debut ‘Age Of The Understatement’ to be masters of a distinctly ’60s-styled world of glamour and arresting artifice, their clever wordplay and swooning harmonies combining with ornate arrangements to create a sound as redolent of black-and-white kitchen sink dramas as the trials and tribulations of the twenty-first century everyday. This long-awaited sequel, meanwhile – reuniting them with string arranger Owen Pallett – displays that whereas their careers may have moved in markedly different directions in the interim, their wry and wordily ditties when united display an enviable chemistry and magnetic charm. – Juno
