Mercury Prize voters: Alex Turner has a worthy project called the Last Shadow Puppets that is up for your consideration, and in case you forgot, here is a Richard Ayoade-directed video to help refresh your recollection. Here the Arctic heartthrob and his fellow Puppeteer Miles Kane of the Rascals move about a bit more than during the mod-era TV-show “Standing Next To Me,” talking midnight strolls through dense fog and along winding roads, meeting up in a gazebo to sing about mistakes and admire each others’ leather jackets.
The Age Of The Understatement is out via Domino, and looking like a longshot for that Merc Prize.

Longshot or not, that’s still a damn good album.
I absolutely agree.
I’m a HUGE fan of the Monkeys and Turner’s latest side project. The whole album has a certain atmosphere about it.. .. or well.. maybe it’s just extremely British by nature.
Regardless, a spectacular effort that shouldn’t be pushed aside or ignored by any means.
Definitely a great album, and this is a great song. I am actually not the biggest Monkeys fan (don’t hate em or love em), but this album, and this song in particular, are undeniably great.
I declare my love for this.
I know I’m a little late here but I just watched the NUMBERS episode Sneakerhead and heard this song and totally fell in love with it. Why have I not heard about these guys before… I just love their sound, so British and 70′s… : )
