The Last Shadow Puppets release new teaser video + confirm LP release for Spring 2016

The Last Shadow Puppets have just released a new teaser video, in which you can hear snippets of new music and it also goes on to confirm that their second LP will be released for Spring-time next year (2016) - not long to go!

The Last Shadow Puppets' second LP is on it's way!

It seems like The Last Shadow Puppets' follow-up album to 2008's "The Age Of The Understatement" is being recorded, well according to a certain Owen Pallett. The producer tweeted - "That rare and thrilling moment when the record you're working on crosses the threshold into Classic Status #tlsp2" ... and since then fans have been going crazy! The tweet has since been deleted but one thing remains from it all, The Last Shadow Puppets will be releasing something soon!

Last year the Kane was speaking out about new work as TLSP as a part of a new superhero movie - "It's something we always talk about y'know?" said Kane. "But I think we're gonna write this film first anyway before we hit back into that. It's gonna have a sort of X-Men kind of vibe and sort of set in the '60s, but I can't give anymore away than that."

Kane added: "We're not planning to be [in the film] but we may have a little cameo."

Alex Turner and Miles Kane reform Last Shadow Puppets

At their BIG event happened at the weekend, Arctic Monkeys played their biggest two shows of their careers (minus Glastonbury last year) and something else happened. Alex Turner was joined on stage with Miles Kane to perform a Last Shadow Puppets song "Standing Next To Me".

Check out the videos below.

Alex Turner hints at further plans with Miles Kane - but will it be as The Last Shadow Puppets?

Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner, has once again teased fans by hinting at a new collaborative project with long term musical acquaintance, and mod man of the moment, Miles Kane - the very man he teamed up with for the pairs side-project, The Last Shadow Puppets. 

Despite the same, almost scripted answers both musicians often give to interviewers when asked about a follow up to 2008's debut album 'The Age of the Understatement' (the answers usually consist of something like, 'yeah I'm sure we will ride again'), it seems Alex Turner is now contemplating an entirely new project with his old friend: "It's definitely something that's on the cards in the future. Or something else – it doesn't have to be the Shadow Puppets" he said. 

Will we ever get a second TSLP album?

In true Turner fashion, and after just under five years of doing so, he was still reluctant to admit any of these plans and ideas were set in stone - and fans may have to wait until Miles Kanes' current success disintegrates before a new Turner/Kane album is even fully considered: ''It's something we'd both love to do at some point but I don't know what that point is' he adds. 'I certainly don't think it's tomorrow. Miles is doing his thing and that's going great. It's like he's become whole. Although he always was a superstar, wasn't he?"

Prior to this, Alex Turner earlier this week also spoke about plans for a follow-up to the bands most recent chart topping album 'AM', and admitted that he can certainly see him and his band mates 'walking into another one'. Read more on that HERE.
