The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of the Understatement

I heard these guys on the Jonathan Ross show the other night and thought I’d try the album. Interesting. Has elements of Sixties retro in the orchestration, and the boys voices on several of the tracks are resonant of the mainstream groups from that era. I’m a fan of British pop from the Sixties, and maybe because of that, I think this is a good album and well worth listening through. The songs are belted out – not in the same league as The Proclaimers, but then who is?
