The Last Shadow Puppets - "Bad Habits"

Six years on from the release of their first album together, and not a mop-top in sight. And it’s not just Miles and Alex who are meaner and slicker.


Though the prominent string arrangements remain, the whole sound is somewhat sleazier, in a perfectly good way. Compared to the likes of “Standing Next To Me”, it’s all a lot less poetic and a bit more sordid tales of yesteryear. This might not go down well with some of their fans, but is a bit of change such a bad thing? Not when it’s accompanied by such a kickass orchestral backing.
