Pitchfork.tv: The Last Shadow Puppets: Special Presentation: Live-in-Studio in New York

The Last Shadow Puppets are Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane of the Rascals. Marc Hogan called their recent debut The Age of Understatement, "Turner's most impressive album-length statement yet, one that strives, musically and lyrically, for the epic grandeur of an era before GarageBand or MySpace, and avoids lapsing into pretentiousness by dint of its own headlong enthusiasm. As Turner's granddad might say, 'You've overdoon it.' Again." So how do the songs sound bereft of those big arrangements? Turns out pretty great-- check out this Pitchfork.tv Special Presentation, which finds the duo sitting in a room together with guitars, running through tracks from the album at Avatar Studios in New York. And when you're in the mood again for high production values, we also added the over-the-top video for the album's title track to the archives.
