Last Shadow Puppets

You know when you buy an album but you don’t really give it much of a chance?
I did that with Age of the Understatement. I liked the title track so I bought the album, trusting in the genius that is Alex Turner’s skill for writing absolute belters, but unfortunately none of the other tracks sounded like that so I sort of gave up on it.
Recently, I’ve been listening a bit more and I now really, really like it! There are a few tracks that stand out for me in particular. My second favourite is a song called My Mistakes Were Made For You. It sounds like if Arctic Monkeys covered Scott Walker, smooth and beautiful and classic.
