Alex Turner's much-needed (?) side project

Because two records in as many years with Arctic Monkeys weren't enough, Alex Turner has teamed with Miles Kane (of The Rascals), starting a side project called Last Shadow Puppets. Their debut, The Age of the Understatement will arrive on April 21st on Domino Records, on the heels of an eponymous single (which will be available on 7-inch six days prior to the album proper). James Ford, producer of the Arctic Monkeys sophomore album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, will assume production duties on The Age of the Understatement as well, and Owen Pallett (erstwhile Arcade Fire collaborator and Final Fantasy frontman) will offer his orchestration talent.
