Background and recording

In an interview with Live4Ever, co-lead vocalist Alex Turner explained that the album originated from songwriting with fellow vocalist Miles Kane with the two quickly then feeling the desire to revive the project.[1] The album was recorded in the summer of 2015 in Rick Rubin's Shangri La Studios in Malibu, California.[2][3][4] The band explained it to be the second installment in a trilogy of albums to be released by the band.[5] In an interview with NME, the Last Shadow Puppets stated that their songwriting was influenced by Isaac Hayes and The Style Council, as opposed to the Scott Walker influences of their first album.[2] After speculation about work on the album sparked by a tweet from arranger Owen Pallett, album producer James Ford stated in November 2015 that the album had been finished.[6]

In an interview with LA Weekly, the band stated that the orchestra featured on the album was recorded in Hollywood studio United Recording.[7]

Album art

The album art consists of a photo of singer Tina Turner dancing, as photographed by Jack Robinson in November 1969 in New York City.[8]

The record cover beat Blackstar by David Bowie to win the prize for best album artwork 2016. The prize was organised by Art Vinyl.[9]
