The Last Shadow Puppets – “Les Cactus” (Jacques Dutronc Cover) Video

Next month, the Last Shadow Puppets, Arctic Monkeys leader Alex Turner’s duo with his buddy Miles Kane, will release The Dream Synopsis, a new EP mostly comprised of covers. They already shared a video for their version of the late Leonard Cohen’s “Is This What You Wanted.” (Cohen wasn’t yet late when they did that.) And now they’ve dropped another video, for their raw, frenzied cover of “Les Cactus,” a frenetic 1967 frug from the French rocker Jaques Dutronc. In the video, we see Turner, Kane, their backing band, and a string quartet recording the song together in the studio — all in one room at the same time — and dancing it out while they’re taping. Watch it below.

The Dream Synopsis is out 12/2 on Domino.
