Age Of The Understatement, The - Last Shadow Puppets

... To define the overall sound, you have to take the main body of the album, and then combine it with the lead single The Age of The Understatement. In doing that, you find an album that is over the top, with a little bit of spaghetti western styling, in a bubble of 60s Kitsch. It's a firm ... Read review

The Age Of Understatement - The Last Shadow Puppets

Famous for demonstrating how less is more when it comes to publicity, it comes as no ... more

surprise that The Age of the Understatement, the
first side project from Alex Turner of the Arctic
Monkeys, should appear to no great fanfare. The
Last Shadow Puppets are Turner and Miles Kane,
formerly of Monkeys tourmates The Little Flames
and now in the Rascals, aided by producer (and
here, drummer) James Ford, also of Simian Mobile
Disco. Inspired by the widescreen orchestral
Sixties pop of Scott Walker and legendary arranger
David Axelrod, they enlisted the London
Metropolitan Orchestra under the aegis of Canadian
Owen Pallett (aka Final Fantasy and an erstwhile
member of the Arcade Fire's string section). The
result is entirely successful, owing as much to
the romanticism of Richard Hawley and the eclectic
approach of the Coral as any sixties precursors.
The thundering title track is pure Scott though,
"I Don't Like You Anymore" is twisted pop in the
best Cosmic Scouse tradition and the beautiful
"Meeting Place", brilliantly enhanced by Pallett's
orchestration, already sounds like an old classic.
"Standing Next to Me" is genuinely exciting, "Calm
Like You" is a new take on Turner's familiar style
while "The Chamber" even sees him crooning. The
Age of the Understatement is a fine, convincing
album that proves Turner's talent is truly
adaptable and marks Kane out as a talented
songwriter too. --Steve Jelbert

1-2 of 2 reviews of Age Of The Understatement, The - Last Shadow Puppets

The Name's Turner...Alex Turner

Advantages: A different sound as far as Indie Rock is concerned
Disadvantages: Track listing seems a bit out of order

...with the lead single The Age of The Understatement. In doing that, you find an album that is over the top, with a little bit of spaghetti western styling, in a bubble of 60s Kitsch.

It's a firm album, really. Alex Turner's vocals compliment the backing from Miles. The guitars do wonders for the songs in their relative simplicity, especially in being combined with an orchestral backing throughout. It makes it sound like a plausible ... more

Awesome Album!

Advantages: Great unique indie rock 60s pop crossover
Disadvantages: Only a disadvantage if you don't like their style

...first song on it, 'The Age Of The Understatement' having seen it on music channels and then went mad trying to find out who it was and then came across this album! The Last Shadow Puppets are a side-project by Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane (The Rascals) - two very popular indie bands. If you like them, you'll probably like this album. As popular as indie is at the moment, The Last Shadow Puppets are very unique in their sound. Both ...

I Don't Like You Any More 10. In My Room 11. Meeting Place 12. The Time Has Come Again Overall, I love this album and The Last Shadow Puppets, and can't wait for their next album! ...

Last Shadow Puppets - Age of the Understatement

Advantages: Another portion of music from Alex Turner
Disadvantages: Doesn't have that 'catchyness' that the Arctic Monkeys has...

The Age Of The Understatement is the debut album from The Last Shadow Puppets; a side project of Alex Turner of The Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane of The Rascals...one you may well have heard of, but one you may not have!! The Age of the Understatement was released in the UK on 21 April 2008, going straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart...the hype and success surrounding it was for the most part due to Turner's role in the band. The likes of Radio 1 put the debut single straight into it's A-list, the likes of the NME waxed lyrically over their arrival...but was it worth the hype?? Well first of all, the two met when Kane's former band The Little Flames supported the Arctic Monkeys during their 2005 & 2007 UK tours. Kane also played guitar on "505", the closing track of the second Arctic Monkeys album "Favourite Worst ...

Review of Age Of The Understatement, The (Limited Edition) [Digipak] - Last Shadow Puppets (The)

We haven't heard the last of the shadow puppets

Advantages: More music for fans of the band members, decent album overall
Disadvantages: inconsistent, different to what you'd expect from the group

The Last Shadow Puppets is a 3 piece indie rock band fronted by Arctic Monkeys lead singer, Alex Turner. His sideline group is made up by James Ford on Drums and Miles Kane on Bass if i remember rightly. Both of these musicians met Alex Turner when Miles Kane's other band, 'The Rascals' supported the Arctic Monkeys. The album is called 'The Age of The Understatement' and consists of 12 Tracks and runs to almost 35 minutes. Fans of either band will have to be open-minded as The Last Shadow Puppets do seem to be a little more downbeat than Arctic Monkeys and more contemporary and conventional than The Rascals. The Tracks [Track 1 - The Age of The Understatement] The album screeches into an early crescendo with its title track, also a prominent yet simple bassline present early on. It may lead some Arctic Monkeys fans ...
