Album Review: The Last Shadow Puppets - The Dream Synopsis

"This one's worth checking out."

The Dream Synopsis EP, recorded live, kicks off with Alex Turner stating: "And we are rolling," before a guitar melody and background violins colour the contemplative bass line on opener Aviation.

Les Cactus is a raucous and upbeat '70s style rock tune with French lyrics and Totally Wired is a bass driven corker that draws on old school punk rock. This Is Your Life cements Zach Dawes' importance in the outfit while final tracks, Is This What You Wanted and The Dream Synopsis, change the tone to slow and quirky rock ballads full of sentimentality. This one's worth checking out.
