The Last Shadow Puppets The Age Of The Understatement

Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) & Miles Kane (The Rascals) are The Last Shadow Puppets. Directed by director Romain Gavras, their debut video is as big as Mother Russia, following our intrepid heroes’ adventures in Moscow and includes ice skating, an Orthodox priest, Soviet tanks and a chorus of Russian Soldiers.
