Description:
- The Age Of The Understatement is highly-anticipated debut album from The Last Shadow Puppets, aka Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane (The Rascals) and hands down proof that Turner and Kane are two of the most exciting young songwriters on the planet.
- Firm friends ever since Arctic Monkeys toured with Kane’s previous group, The Little Flames, the pair were so inspired the likes of Scott Walker, early Bowie and David Axelrod, that they hatched a plan. The result, ‘The Age Of The Understatement’ (released April 19), 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 album was recorded at Black Box studios near Nantes, France in two weeks during the summer of 2007, with producer and drummer James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Klaxons, Simian Mobile Disco).The band then approached Owen Pallett (Arcade Fire, Bloc Party, Beirut) 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.
