Domino Records announce 'The Age Of The Understatement'

Domino is proud to herald the release of 'The Age Of The Understatement', the debut album by The Last Shadow Puppets.

The Last Shadow Puppets are Alex Turner (from Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane (from The Rascals), close comrades since Arctic Monkeys toured with Kane's previous group, The Little Flames and inspired by listening to the likes of Scott Walker, early Bowie and David Axelrod, they hatched their adventurous operation.

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 first firing shot will be the single 'The Age Of The Understatement', released on Monday the 14th of April.
