The Last Shadow Puppets
The Last Shadow Puppets is a British supergroup formed in 2007, featuring Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys, Miles Kane of The Rascals, and producer James Ford. The band emerged as a side project that allowed Turner and Kane to explore a sound inspired by 1960s baroque pop and cinematic music. Their debut album, "The Age of the Understatement," was released in April 2008 and was produced by Ford. It received critical acclaim for its lush orchestration and dynamic songwriting, debuting at number one on the UK Albums Chart. After an eight-year hiatus, they returned with their second album, "Everything You've Come to Expect," in April 2016, showcasing an evolution in sound that incorporated more soulful and psychedelic elements. Known for their charismatic live performances and stylistic flair, The Last Shadow Puppets have garnered a dedicated fanbase. Despite being active concurrently with their main individual careers, the collaboration between Turner and Kane remains an intriguing intersection of their distinct musical talents, fortified by Ford's production expertise. Their work continues to be celebrated for its evocative storytelling and rich soundscapes.
