The Last Shadow Puppets Announce New Album & Tour, Ticket Pre-Sale
When Coachella announced its lineup we were particularly excited by the inclusion of The Last Shadow Puppets. It’s been quite a few years since the band, which is made up of Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane, released their terrific debut The Age Of The Understatement, and we were beginning to think that was all she wrote. But now, it appears their sets at Coachella aren’t the only thing we have to look forward to, as the duo have announced a new album and a world tour.
Everything You’ve Come To Expect is the name of the proud pair’s second born and it’s due out April 1, 2016 via Domino. For the record, Turner and Kane reunited with James Ford (production and drums) and Owen Pallett (string arrangements) and enlisted Zachary Dawes (Mini Mansions) on bass. It was recorded at Shangri La Studio in Malibu. Of the new LP, the label describes it as being a “more open and expansive work than its predecessor, wearing its influences less obviously on its sleeve – by turns the album is soaring, snarling and breathlessly seductive.” You can watch the video for the first single, “Bad Habits”, below, as well as check out the album’s track list. Everything You’ve Come To Expect is available for pre-order now here.
