Last Shadow Puppets - Everything You've Come To Expect

 Everything You've Come To Expect
Last Shadow Puppets - New Single

The latest single from Alex Turner and Miles Kane's Last Shadow Puppets is a hazy, 60s influenced song that couldn't be in greater contrast to first single 'Bad Habits'

The song reflects the shift of Turner and Kane's influences from English music to that from across the Atlantic - lyrics such as 'Hotel room / Holy Bible' definitely holds imagery which would be far more associated with America than Sheffield or Liverpool.

The song is a retrospective, hazy sounding tune, featuring vocal harmonies between both Turner and Kane,as opposed to the solo vocals from Miles Kane that featured on Bad Habits. with strings featuring towards the middle of the song, it sounds sun soaked, like a lazy summer's afternoon (for want of a more original simile).

It may not sound like their first album, but with eight years between The Age of the Understatement and Everything You've Come To Expect, and the change in sound of the artists themselves, it was bound to happen. Still strange to think that one of the musicians behind this song penned Fake Tales of San Francisco, but an excellent song nonetheless.

The song is absolutely worth a listen, and is fairly essential for any fan of Arctic Monkeys and/or Miles Kane
