The Last Shadow Puppets dropped by Xfm yesterday to go through their debut album with John Kennedy and revealed plans for the next single.

 

The super duo - Arctic Monkey's Alex Turner and The Rascals' Miles Kane - sat down with John Kennedy to listen to their entire debut album 'The Age Of Understatement' and talk him through it track-by-track.

 

Revealing that the second song on the album 'Standing Next To Me' will be the next single to be released Alex Turner told John, "This was a song that Miles had for a bit."

 

"It was one of the first ones I played Al", Miles interjected "and he just said he really like it", laughingly adding, "Al added a D minor on the second chorus to give it an extra lift."

 

"It's gonna be the next single", added Alex, "we're supposed to go and film the video this afternoon but we've already done some in Madrid and now it's raining here [laughs]. It's gonna be a mad video...maybe we'll get umbrellas in it."

 

As to what actually brought them together?:

 

"Bread and crumpets", Alex and Miles both told John, "then music came later on. It wasn't even about the rider [when their two respecive bands toured together].

 

"I suppose it was [discussing how they both liked their crumpets in the morning]. That was when the friendship really started to set in the mould.

Best possible choice imo, love the song and from first listen said it should be a single. Hope it can do them well :D
It sounds like more of a single than TAOTU to me. The lead line just gets into your head. Confirms Alex and Miles may be more a meeting of equals than at first thought....

Excellent choice. Is not too full on, is just a nice, sweet, catchy track.

 

I can only see them releasing 3 singles from the album. Shall be this and The Meeting Place methinks.

with the first listen i didnt like that track at all...!!!

now i cant stop listenin to it.;)

beautiful short catchy song

I 100% agree with both sentiments :D

Standing Next to Me

 

Want her, have her

Two years have gone now,

But I can’t relate to the never-ending games that you play.

As desire passes through,

Then you’re open to the truth,

I hope you understand

And your love is standing next to me

The one you fell for makes it seem juvenile

And you’ll laugh at yourself again and again

And we’ll drink to the thought she’ll remember you maybe tomorrow

And your love is standing next to me

i love this song...

As you al said it's very catchy...

i think it s too late...

Yeah so do I tbh. But when you think about it it's not that late. Airplay will begin picking up within the next 2 weeks or so, and then hopefully a video will be out within about 3 weeks time. :P

Definately the best choice for second single, the release date isn't too far off, the album will have only been out for about 10 weeks when SNTM is released but it will seem longer as TAOTU wasn't as big as some expected
  • 3 weeks later...

The Last Shadow Puppets have announced the second single from their Number One album, 'The Age Of The Understatement'.

 

'Standing Next To Me' will hit shelves on July 7.

 

The single will feature three exclusive new tracks and will be released on two vinyl 7-inches, CD and also via digital download

 

All offical now!

I reckon one will be a Beatles cover. B)

 

It would be good if they did that... I wonder which track though.
