John Norris Interviews ... Last Shadow Puppets

You may not have heard of the Last Shadow Puppets, but you're likely familiar with a few of the artists pulling their strings. Predominantly the work of Arctic Monkeys singer/guitarist Alex Turner and his counterpart in the Rascals, Miles Kane, their album, The Age of Understatement, is full of dense, dark and driven baroque pop, recorded with the help of producer James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco), with string arrangements handled by Owen Pallet (Final Fantasy), and made under the influence of classic Scott Walker albums and John Barry scores. In the latest episode of the John Norris Interviews ..., our intrepid MTV News reporter braved his way through the lads' Northern accents to find out how this puppet show took shape.
