The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of Understatement
The Last Shadow Puppets are Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys . Miles Kane from The Rascals and composer/producer James Ford (ex Simian). No question Turner and Kane were listening to a lot of Serge Gainsbourg and Scott Walker when they wrote and recorded this album ........talk about a wild throw back to the late-’60s
orchestral pop sound with forked lyrics.
Musically this music is very interesting and is loaded with loads of accents, mood shifts, tempo changes and even some orchestra crescendos. It is like the Moody Blues meets Scott Walker meets Serge Gainsbourg with a modern twist in there too.....actually is hard to exactly put your fingers on this one.......
I love this album....played it a ton and still do......makes me go back to the era that I love and days ago really.... I was actually surprised they released an album this retro and wasnt sure it would sell for them.
