Get ready for more Alex Turner
Alex Turner is one of those musicians who doesn’t seem to like taking breaks. After two Arctic 
Monkeys albums in two years, Turner is set to debut his new side project The Last Shadow Puppets with the release of Age Of The Understatement in the U.S. on May 6. The group is consisted of Turner and Miles Kane of The Rascals.
The maneuvers were recorded at Black Box studios near Nantes, France in only 2 weeks with producer and drummer James Ford scoping out the grand terrain and Owen Pallett conducting the 22 strong battalion of the London Metropolitan Orchestra.
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 avoiding the minefields of pastiche. Both Miles and Alex are 22 and this is a youthful engagement, full of life and the sheer pleasure of music making.
The album reportedly will sound very “60’s.” Simian Mobile Disco’s James Ford produced the album. Tracklist after the jump…
