The Last Shadow Puppets – The Age Of The Understatement
Posted by AlMachine on Thursday, April 17, 2008

The over-hyped side project from ‘the monkey’ and his nobody mate; any review of this needs to make some reference to Scott Walker and the ‘boys’ embracing their influences; but personally it made me keep thinking of the theme tune to the 1950’s ‘black and white’ kids cowboy serial ‘Champion the Wonder Horse.’ Musically it has a throbbing, galloping momentum, and is just far enough removed from the ‘Arctic Monkeys’ for it to stand up on its own merit!
