It's not that often that side projects are more ambitious than the players' main bands, but the Last Shadow Puppets, the collaboration between the Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner and the Rascals' Miles Kane, is one of those rare birds. With their day jobs, Turner and Kane are revivalists of different strains of "angry young British man" rock, but with the help of drummer/producer James Ford (also of Simian Mobile Disco), arranger Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy), and the London Metropolitan Orchestra, on The Age of the Understatement they revitalize the lush, symphonic pop of early Scott Walker and David Bowie, when they needed an orchestra to express just how sweeping their feelings were. The title track's galloping strings-and-timpani drama begins the album, making it readily apparent just how ironic The Age of the Understatement's name is, and just how well the Last Shadow Puppets have recaptured that lavish late-'60s/early-'70s sound. The main update to it comes from Turner and Kane's voices; stark and suave like Walker and Bowie they are not, but that's a good thing -- their boyish, unpretentious voices and brotherly harmonies keep the album from dipping into kitsch. Instead, a surprising urgency runs through The Age of the Understatement, most noticeably on the taut "Calm Like You" and "Separate and Ever Deadly," but also on softer moments like "The Meeting Place" and the extremely Walker-esque "My Mistakes Were Made for You." Whenever the drama threatens to become too monotonous, the band knows when to change things up: "I Don't Like You Anymore" brings in more of the Arctic Monkeys' spit and spite, building up to a livid guitar solo that practically shakes with loathing, while "Standing Next to Me" and "Time Has Come" rein in the bombast. Despite all the intensity, the Last Shadow Puppets have a light touch -- their songs are short and don't overstay their welcome, and the whole affair is just arty and indulgent enough to make it special. It's not an overstatement to say that The Age of the Understatement is a likable, accomplished working holiday. The Last Shadow Puppets, Everything You've Come To Expect, album review: 'An unhurried follow-up that feels experimental' You’ll feel a pang of nostalgia while listening to Everything You’ve Come to Expect , the second album from The Last Shadow Puppets, the duo comprised of Arctic Monkeys' suave frontman Alex Turner and his musical chum Miles Kane. It’s been eight years since the two first donned their suits and it shows. Northern upstarts no more, here they skirt away from Western-imbued galloping riffs towards Seventies soul tinged with sanguine lyrics and prog rock compositions. If the first album was our heroes marching into battle, this is them drifting into the sunset, cocktail in hand. But, as with their 2008 debut The Age of the Understatement , this follow-up greets you with the sound of jangly string instruments that build to a dramatic crescendo before unleashing the Kane-heavy "Aviation," a simmering opener best played cruising down an empty sunlight-strewn highway. “Miracle Aligner” and “The Element of Surprise,” two ballads direct from a past era, soon fall away to “Used to Be My Girl” and “She Does the Woods,” a double bill of altogether moodier tunes whose placement alongside one another evoke the sense it's one epic track. Think Arctic Monkeys' Suck It and See infused with the darker rhythms of Humbug . If the album meanders its way safely through the first half, it soars with the arrival of grandstanding Turner property “Sweet Dreams, TN." "I ain't got anything to lick without you, baby," he croons accompanied by a marching percussion that's primed to steal festival sets as well as the muscles in your feet. Capped by album closers “The Dream Synopsis” - in which Turner recounts dreamscapes of a windswept Sheffield and roman colosseums (even Kane gets a namedrop) - and "The Bourne Identity," these songs have shades of vintage Lennon, Bowie and Lou Reed. The former, in particular, feels like a direct continuation of Turner's serene Submarine soundtrack from 2010, both songs helping to soothe the wait for that eventual sixth Arctic Monkeys album. The Last Shadow Puppets, however, are not relying on nostalgia. Instead, they’ve made a relaxedly unhurried album that feels experimental. While not the instant grab fans may be expecting, this assured follow-up - like all good things in life - improves over time. Join our new commenting forum.

The long-awaited second album from the Last Shadow Puppets is a lavish California confection, with strings by Owen Pallett. Like Zayn Malik's Mind of Mine , it makes very clear that frontmen Alex Turner and Miles Kane are sexy men with sexy lives having lots of sexy sex with their sexy girlfriends. After the flammable tracksuits and leering interviews, it's easy to forget that in 2008, the Last Shadow Puppets were two shaggy-haired 22-year- olds sweetly in thrall to girls and Scott Walker. The Age of the Understatement was more ambitious than anything Alex Turner and Miles Kane had attempted before, but its lavish strings and Morricone twangs shrouded earnest devotion and no shortage of anxiety over paling in comparison to the next, more consummate lothario. "Please don't tell me, you don't have to, darling/ I can sense that he painted you a gushing sunset and slayed a few panthers in your defence," Turner sang on "Separate and Ever Deadly." By the final song, "Time Has Come Again," he found himself heartbroken and weeping in the street. This bold record was a cover for a severe case of imposter syndrome, which Kane evoked in a lovely turn of phrase on "Separate. ": "Can't you see I'm the ghost in the wrong coat, biting butter and crumbs?" Eight years on, the starting blocks are very different. Arctic Monkeys are five albums in, and Alex Turner could feasibly lay claim to being one of the biggest rock stars in the world. Miles Kane could feasibly lay claim to being friends with one of the biggest rock stars in the world. Both artists now live in L.A., and their long-awaited second album, Everything You've Come to Expect , is a lavish California confection, featuring a 29-piece orchestra recorded at Hollywood's storied United Recording, and arranged by Owen Pallett. His work here puts him on a par with Jean-Claude Vannier, the man behind Gainsbourg's . ..Melody Nelson : The first five songs at least are totally gorgeous, the strings glassy, the tone all understated seduction, the structures fluid and surprising. Dusty opener "Aviation" could be Calexico playing backing band to some tortured crooner; "Miracle Aligner" is a fever dream of the Replacements' "Swingin Party," while the title track turns French carousel organs into a captivating narcotic spiral. It's the perfect music for the Daniel Craig-era James Bond films: sophisticated, tortured—and with a weakness for temptation. Like Zayn Malik's Mind of Mine , Everything You've Come to Expect makes very clear that Turner and Kane are sexy men with sexy lives having lots of sexy sex with their sexy girlfriends. The only difference between them is a seven-year age gap. Sometimes they still sound as awestruck as on their debut. On "She Does the Woods," ostensibly a song about shagging in the bushes, Turner is dazzled by the girl looming above him, behind her, "a spirograph of branches that dance on the breeze." There are numerous songs about fucking—"Just let me know when you want your socks knocking off," "Baby, we ought to fuck seven years of bad luck out the powder room mirror"—and, with grim inevitability, songs about how girls have fucked them over. "Bad Habits" truly establishes Kane as the Austin Powers to his mate's Bond, as he yelps over blood-red bolero that he "should've known, little girl, that you'd do me wrong." By the Homme-tinged desert rider "Used to Be My Girl," misanthropy has set in.

  • When James Ford and Jas Shaw Met at Manchester University in the Late 1990S, They Never Imagined They'd End up Creating a Human Synthesiser
    When James Ford and Jas Shaw met at Manchester University in the late 1990s, they never imagined they'd end up creating a human synthesiser. But in their very earliest musical experiments together, something was set in motion which would lead to one of the most unusual careers in British music: one which has seen their creative mission transform again and again, inventing entirely new formats for music-making along the way. So perhaps the weaving of rich layers of human vocal tonalities sung by The Deep Throat Choir into the techno framework of their fifth studio album Murmurations isn't quite such an unexpected turn of events. In fact, they've been connecting the human voice with electronic sound since they first founded the band Simian with Simon Lord and Alex McNaughten. Simian was, in Jas's words, about “trying to show you could make band music with songs and harmonies but be into Autechre too". Named after "Simeon", the home-made early synth rig of early electronic experimentalists The Silver Apples, the band combined Crosby, Stills & Nash harmonies with hypnotic Krautrock rhythms, cosmic analogue synthesiser swooshes and an unmistakeable clubber's sense of groove - and somehow in the middle of all that managed to find something extraordinarily accessible. They were signed to a major label subsidiary in 2000, and made two albums that stand up in their own right now. But, Jas continues, it was "just at the moment the world was into the Strokes and White Stripes and straight-ahead rock music," and their rich, baroque tapestries of song and sound didn't reach the audience their ambition and beauty deserved.

  • One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and Their Fans
    One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and their Fans Annie Lyons TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin December 2020 __________________________________________ Renita Coleman Department of Journalism Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Hannah Lewis Department of Musicology Second Reader 2 ABSTRACT Author: Annie Lyons Title: One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and their Fans Supervising Professors: Renita Coleman, Ph.D. Hannah Lewis, Ph.D. Boy bands have long been disparaged in music journalism settings, largely in part to their close association with hordes of screaming teenage and prepubescent girls. As rock journalism evolved in the 1960s and 1970s, so did two dismissive and misogynistic stereotypes about female fans: groupies and teenyboppers (Coates, 2003). While groupies were scorned in rock circles for their perceived hypersexuality, teenyboppers, who we can consider an umbrella term including boy band fanbases, were defined by a lack of sexuality and viewed as shallow, immature and prone to hysteria, and ridiculed as hall markers of bad taste, despite being driving forces in commercial markets (Ewens, 2020; Sherman, 2020). Similarly, boy bands have been disdained for their perceived femininity and viewed as inauthentic compared to “real” artists— namely, hypermasculine male rock artists. While the boy band genre has evolved and experienced different eras, depictions of both the bands and their fans have stagnated in media, relying on these old stereotypes (Duffett, 2012). This paper aimed to investigate to what extent modern boy bands are portrayed differently from non-boy bands in music journalism through a quantitative content analysis coding articles for certain tropes and themes.
