The Last Shadow Puppets



Alex Turner seems to have it all here in the UK. He's lead singer of the successful Arctic Monkeys, he is dating media "it" girl and former model Alexa Chung, and now a successful side project, The Last Shadow Puppets. I'm always interested in hearing what a musician chooses to do on a side project. Is it more of the same or different?

Vocally and lyrically what I like about The Arctic Monkeys is also here. The arrangements are much different. I can't believe I'm using this word, but I'm gonna....orchestral. The record has a real vintage feel to it, which I love.

I don't know if it will translate to the U.S. market. I'm attaching a link to my favorite song off the record. Enjoy! --J
