Release Notes:
The Last Shadow Puppets are Alex Turner (from Arctic Monkeys)
and Miles Kane (from The Rascals). Firm friends ever since
Arctic Monkeys toured with KaneÆs previous group,
The Little Flames, the pair were so inspired by listening
to the likes of Scott Walker, early Bowie and David Axelrod,
that they hatched a plan.
The result, 'The Age Of The Understatement', is an album of
12 full-blooded songs, bold and brassy, full of drama, wit
and melody, that source the past but avoid falling into pastiche.
Both Miles and Alex are 22, and this is a youthful record,
full of life and the sheer pleasure of music making.
The Last Shadow Puppets recorded the songs at Black Box studios
near Nantes, France in two weeks during the summer of 2007, with
producer and drummer James Ford. The band then approached
Owen Pallett to arrange and conduct the orchestration of the
tracks, which were recorded by the 22 piece London Metropolitan
Orchestra at British Grove studios in London over Christmas.
