Arctic Monkeys的主唱,吉他手和乐队创作核心。

Arctic Monkeys乐队的Alex Turner和The Rascals乐队的Miles Kane一起合作，乐队名叫The Last Shadow Puppets，发表一张专集The Age Of The Understatement 。

作为The Last Shadow Puppets的首张正式专辑，《The Age of the Understatement》在本周的英国流行音乐专辑榜中空降冠军。早在上周，专辑中的同名主打单曲《The Age Of The Understatement》就已经冲进英国单曲榜Top 10，名列第九位。

与Arctic Monkeys以及大多当红的年轻乐团不同的是，Last Shadow Puppets这张专辑的曲风相当复古，似乎并不是为现在的年轻人准备的。Alex Turner和Miles Kane都没有将两人原乐队的工作放下，因此Last Shadow Puppets更像是两人的一个玩票性质的组合。在玩腻了现代的东西之后，Alex Turner和Miles Kane借助于这个“傀儡”之身发挥出了他们此前并没有展现的才华。《The Age Of The Understatement》是一张属于70年代的唱片，老式的音色、不同的编曲和大量弦乐效果的运用令这张专辑显得与现在大多数小年轻做出的专辑与众不同。摇滚变色龙David Bowie在听过这张专辑之后表示他非常喜欢。这只能说是Alex Turner和Miles Kane才华的体现，因为，并不是每个20出头的小年轻都能做出来这样的音乐

Biography

by Andrew Leahey

At the age of 20, Alex Turner became one of Europe’s most popular frontmen in early 2006, when Arctic Monkeys’ debut album became the fastest-selling U.K. record of all time. Turner had formed the indie rock band several years earlier, while attending Stocksbridge High School with fellow musicians Andy Nicholson, Glyn Jones, and Matt Helders. Looking for a fifth member, the classmates added guitarist Jamie Cook, one of Turner’s neighbors in the High Green suburb of Sheffield, England. When Glyn Jones left the lineup in 2002, Turner became the band’s default frontman and lyricist.

Arctic Monkeys launched their own label, Bang Bang Recordings, and released a popular single in May 2005. Things progressed quickly from there, with Domino Records offering the guys a recording contract in June. Recording sessions for their first album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, were finished in September, and the album officially appeared in January 2006, selling over 118,000 copies during its first day. Nearly 375,000 copies were sold by the end of the week, laying the groundwork for a busy year that also included the release of a five-track EP, the departure of Andy Nicholson, the arrival of replacement bassist Nick O'Malley, and the receipt of the 2006 Mercury Prize. Although the entire band received much attention, Turner was singled out for his strong songwriting and erudite lyrics, which often focused on the ups and downs of nightlife in Northern England.

The band released a second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, in April 2007. Later that year, Turner announced plans to form a side project with Miles Kane, who’d previously toured with Arctic Monkeys as the frontman of supporting act the Rascals. Dubbing themselves the Last Shadow Puppets, Turner and Kane released a lushly orchestrated debut album, The Age of the Understatement, in April 2008. Like Turner’s two albums with Arctic Monkeys, the record topped the charts during its first week.

Turner continued collaborating with other artists -- including Dizzee Rascal, Reverend and the Makers, and Tony Christie -- while keeping his focus on Arctic Monkeys, whose third album, Humbug, appeared in 2009. A worldwide tour followed, after which the bandmates began laying the groundwork for a fourth record. Meanwhile, Turner penned six songs for a Richard Ayoade film, Submarine, whose 2011 soundtrack doubled as the frontman’s first solo release.
