Everything You've Come To Expect

Product Information

Brighton, baby – you’re insatiable,” purrs a louche Alex Turner at the start of tonight’s encore. Lines of old-school incandescent bulbs light up his Last Shadow Puppets, a touring five-piece in which the twin guitars of Turner and his co-Puppet Miles Kane come augmented by keyboards. A string section, arranged by noted wunderkind Owen Pallett, adds velvety gravitas. It’s the fifth night of the Puppets’ tour in support of their second album, Everything You’ve Come to Expect, an outing in which elegant arrangements adorn retro love songs – Sweet Dreams, TN, say, performed with Turner’s best Elvis croon to the fore – and controversy simmers off stage.

Tonight’s gig finds the Puppets in superficially fine, but somewhat puzzling form. On the one hand, two albums’ worth of largely lovely songs go by in something of a lush haze. While basically winning, this display of plush retro craftsmanship is in need, perhaps, of a little more dynamic range.
