Everything You've Come to Expect is the second album by English supergroup the Last Shadow Puppets, released on 1 April 2016 by Domino Recording Company. It was written by band co-frontmen Alex Turner and Miles Kane in 2014 between London, Paris and Los Angeles. It was produced in Malibu by fellow member James Ford, alongside guest musician Matt Helders, and new bass player, Zach Dawes. Featuring once again string arrangements by Owen Pallett. The album artwork features a photo of singer Tina Turner dancing, as photographed by Jack Robinson Jr. in November 1969, the original picture was modified by illustrator Matthew Cooper, who gave it a gold tint.

Everything You've Come to Expect exchanges the understated sound of the first record for a more

self-doubt, and its a retelling of the nightlife
adventures of two young men.

Everything You've Come to Expect was released to generally positive reviews, with critics noting the band's evolution from the genre pastiche of their debut album, and welcoming their new style, while staying true to their sound. It became the band's second and Turner’s sixth consecutive number-one debut in the UK, also topping the charts in Belgium. Following its release, the album was promoted by the singles "Bad Habits" and "Aviation", as well as a global tour and multiple television appearances.

Background and recording

The band's first album The Age of the Understatement was released eight years prior, in 2008, to critical acclaim.[1] Since then, Turner had released three albums with Arctic Monkeys, Humbug (2009), Suck It and See (2011), and AM (2013), as well as composing the acoustic soundtrack for the feature film Submarine (2010) Meanwhile, Kane had released his first two albums as a solo artist, Colour of the Trap (2011) and Don't Forget Who You Are (2013).[2][3][4]

Following the release of Kane's sophomore record, him and Turner were on the process of writing, what at the time, was thought to be Kane's next album. During one of those writing sessions, both "experimented with a vocal harmony" on a

8-track demo, which would later become "Aviation", this reminded them of their work on The Age of the Understament, but also they felt it was, "promising, in that it suggested there was somewhere to go with it as well."[5][6][7] The album was written on acoustic guitar and on a Vox Continental keyboard, between Kane's apartment in London, Paris, and Los Angeles.[8][9][10] Most of the songs did not make the album, except for "Pattern", which they said was "the oldest song in the album", in contrast with "Everything You've Come to Expect", which was the last thing written for the record.[6] They contacted fellow member James Ford, and played him the demos, who agreed to join them.[7]

In the summer of 2015, The Last Shadow Puppets began recording material at

United Recording.[8][16][17] Turner recalled the sessions, felt like "a holiday" similarly to the ones for the first album, Pallett agreed and thought they were more "like hanging out with mates than work".[12] When not in the studio the band would spend their time swimming, going to a nearby karaoke bar, and to a sports bar.[15]

Composition

Musical style and influences

Several music critics cited Serge Gainsbourg (left) and Isaac Hayes (right) as having influenced the album's style.

Musically it has been described as a "a louche canon of swooning noir-pop" that sounds "indebted to the baroque soundscapes of the 1960s."

Tears For Fears, Depeche Mode, and The Prodigy as bands they were listening to at the time.[30][15][31] Turner further cited the bass line to Sonic's Rendezvous Band’s "City Slang" as a heavy inspiration for "Bad Habits".[32]

Lyrics and themes

“Songs like Everything You've Come to Expect go into the more surreal and abstract, but on the other hand, Sweet Dreams, TN is way more direct and personal than anything I've written before, working with Miles makes me feel more confident about going in both of those directions. And when he plays guitar, he makes it sound like it's got about eight strings.”

—Alex Turner[22]

Lyrically, the album's main themes are

dreams, and homoerotic imagery.[36][37][38] Being mainly "about the shenanigans young rock stars get up to in LA; lust figures often,"[39] and described as, "a west coast film noir fever dream, scored by Ennio Morricone, with Kane and Turner the doomed protagonists."[21] The lyrics are a departure from their first album, and have been compared to the ones in other works by Turner, such as the "insecurity" found in Submarine (2010) and "metaphors straight from Arctic Monkeys’ fourth album Suck It and See (2011)."[24] The album setting revolves around Los Angeles and the West Coast, and includes references to the neighbourhood of Los Feliz, and cities outside the United States, such as Sheffield, and Paris.[15][20] Turner thought the lyrics on this record were "more effective and more refined," than the ones on their debut,[31] and that they had achieved something "slightly more surreal or abstract."[16] Further adding, "You still, arguably, sometimes reach more or evoke more interest in feelings when you're not telling a story and someone is not right there with you. You just sort of create an atmosphere."[40]

Songs

"

I Am The Walrus’ shit right."[32] Musically, the track's been described as coming closest to the "Lee Hazlewood-indebted style" of their first record.[42]

On "

dealer - it's a lifestyle that I didn't relate to myself."[35] Musically it has been described as "honeyed soul-pop."[45]

"Everything You've Come to Expect" is a "psychedelic waltz"[15] and has been called "Beatle-esque." The song finds Turner as "a jealous guy," among a "phantasmagoria of surreal visions of decadence."[15] The song references several songs and musicians, with the line "Croc-skin collar on a diamond dog" recalling David Bowie's album of the same name.[30] The mention of Honey Pie on the preceding verse, was thought to be a Beatles reference, although Turner admitted it was coincidental.[46] Another line, “I just can't get the thought of you and him out of my head,” was described as "textbook Turner lust."[24] The band has said it was the last song written for the album, and "the further down the wing" they have gone in terms of songwriting, adding that its their favourite track in the record.[42] "The Element of Surprise" has been called a ballad "direct from a past era"[26] that finds producer James Ford "steering closer to his dance music origins,"[23] and a funk track "that sounds like the Rat Pack performing inside George Clinton's Holy Mothership."[22] "Bad Habits" has been described as a "sinister punk mariachi groover"[21] driven by "Pallett’s violins,"[23] with "Iggy Pop-like intensity."[33] The song started with Turner playing the bass line, inspired by the one in Sonic's Rendezvous Band’s "City Slang."[32] The stream of consciousness lyrics were edited down from the original 40 minute long take, where Kane started reciting words without repeating himself once. Kane highlighted Ford's work in the song "to make it a pop song with, like, a punky edge."[47]

On "Sweet Dreams, TN", Turner "approximates a

Elvis-in Vegas-turn" in what has been described as a "career best vocal."[32][15] Its has a "bolero-like staccato rhythm and slapback echo-drenched vocal".[25] It started when Turner sat down "playing an old Roy Orbison riff on an acoustic."[48] The track is a love song for his at the time girlfriend, Taylor Bagley,[8] and the most direct piece of writing in the record, "That tune actually is perhaps the only one where i sat down and it is just what it is, That's straightforward that," Turner has said.[15] Bagley convinced him to put the song on the record as he at first thought "There was almost too much truth in it or something."[48] It has been described as "country-tinged"[32] and "lounge singer grandeur."[23]

"Used to Be My Girl" is a "Homme-tinged desert rider,"[20] with lyrics that evoke a "quasi comic self loathing."[15] "She Does the Woods" is punctuacted by "high-drama stabs."[25] Turner said the track improved after Owen Pallet's arrangements were added,[11] and was direct about the lyrics, "Its pretty obvious that its about shagging in the woods."[49] Both tracks are a "double bill of [...] moodier tunes" and due to their placement on the album have been said to "evoke the sense it's one epic track," both likened to a mix of previous Arctic Monkeys' works, "Suck It and See infused with the darker rhythms of Humbug."[26] "Pattern" is an orchestral pop[20] track with "Isaac Hayes influenced" strings, that give it "a soulful swagger."[16] Lyrically being a "the-morning-after-several-nights-in-a-row-before lament."[15]

The album's final track, "The Dream Synopsis," finds Turner at his most "lugubrious and lizardy."[20] As the title describes, in the song he recounts his dreams to another person. He said of the track "It's almost like when you do talk about your dreams to someone, it's always the fucking most boring [...] And I thought, perhaps, if you added a melody and surrounded it by music, maybe it's more compelling. Marginally more compelling."[48] The first verse references Turner's time as a part-time bartender at The Boardwalk during the early years of his career.[50] The line "And a wicked gale came howling up through Sheffield City Centre There was palm tree debris everywhere" was an attempt to connect his native Sheffield with his, at the time, residence of Los Angeles.[8] It further references the neighbourhood of Los Feliz, and bandmate Miles Kane.[15][20][26] Kane recalled the song being more "upbeat" in the beginning, and that it took them a while "to get it [...] slow." Turner added that, this type of song is his "default position."[51] Turner claimed "It's a love song, after all. For a girl."[8] "The Bourne Identity" is a "violin-heavy hero's lament,"[20] which stands as the last track on the deluxe version of the album. The song "comes back to imposter syndrome."[20] Both closers have had its sound compared to "vintage Lennon, Bowie and Lou Reed" with "The Bourne Identity" further feeling "like a direct continuation of Turner's serene Submarine."[26]

Artwork and title

The album art consists of a photo of singer Tina Turner dancing, as photographed by Jack Robinson in November 1969 in New York City.[52] Alex Turner had a réplica of the photograph, which was gifted to him by a friend, hanging in his kitchen for many years. Both him and Kane chose the image, as they thought that it would make a great album cover.[5][31][53] After the record was done they got in touch with Tina Turner's team and she agreed.[54] Illustrator Matthew Cooper modified the original image and gave it a gold tint. Cooper told the BBC: "The idea was to move the artwork on from the ’60s feel of the first Last Shadow Puppets album artwork, so here is Tina on the very cusp of the 1970s".[55][56] The record cover beat Blackstar by David Bowie to win the prize for best album artwork 2016. The prize was organised by Art Vinyl.[57]

The title comes from the track of the same name, as the band thought it was the "centerpiece" of the record. Turner has also described it as "sort of a joke" because the band has only one other album, so there would not be that much to be expectant about. He also thought the string arrangements made the project inherently "sophisticated and elegant", which reflected in the title in "an amusing way", comparing it to a cognac advertisement.[58][59]

Release and promotion

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.[60] The release of Everything You've Come to Expect was first announced on 3 December 2015, through a short video directed by Ben Chappell. The video depicted Turner walking through the studio towards the recording booth, interpersed with other shots of the band.[61][62] Another teaser was released on 28 December, and included snippets of new music.[63][64] On 21 January, the band announced their album would be released on 1 April, and explained it to be the second installment in a trilogy of albums to be released by them.[65]

Singles and videos

The lead single, "Bad Habits", was released on 10 January 2016 alongside a music video directed by Ben Chapell.[66][67] The video depicts Kane and Turner at a dive bar in California, where they performed the song live, interspersed with footage of them socialising and womanising.[68]

The next three singles, the title track, "

cinemascope".[69][70] Although, "Everything You've Come to Expect" was first released on March 10, it serves as the second installment of the trilogy, with "Aviation", released six days later, being the first.[71][72] The first two videos were described as "an intriguing Tarantino-esque two-parter, entirely set on a deserted Californian beach."[73] The last installment, "Miracle Aligner", was released on 28 March 2016.[74]

Tour

In January 2016, the band announced a tour of Europe and the U.S. which began that March,[75] In February they extended the tour into July, with dates added in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, and Japan.[76][77][78][79][80] On 24 March, they played live in Cambridge. This was the tour's opening performance, and the Last Shadow Puppets first performance since 2010.[81] In March and April they announced dates in Germany and England,[82][83] and in May they announced their U.S. tour.[84][85] During the tour they were supported by Jeff Wootton, Yak, Cam Avery and Alexandra Savior.[86]

The band also headlined several

Loren Humphrey, Tyler Parkford, and string section members, Caroline Buckman, Claudia Chopek, Jennifer Takamatsu and Mikala Schmitz.[22]

Other performances

The band made a number of television performances in promotion of the album including on the late-night talk shows

Later...with Jools Holland.[96][97] In March, they played an acoustic set at VOX Studios in Los Angeles,[98] and a week later, an intimate show at Club 69 for Studio Brussel, where they played the album in full, as well as five tracks from their debut.[99] Several live sessions were recorded for radio stations such as Sirius XM, Flux FM, and BBC Radio 2.[100][101][102] Another acoustic session was recorded for Spotify at their studios in London.[103]

Everything You've Come to Expect received positive reviews from contemporary music critics. At

average score of 70, based on 28 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[105]

In a positive review, The Independent noted the album's experimental nature, and wrote that the album "improves over time."[26] Philip Cosores of Consequence said "The album is never tortuous or boring", and felt its quality was on par with the band members' principal works, as they all devoted themselves to the record. He also thought the album "feels necessary within the context of all their careers".[23] For The Line of Best Fit, Ryan Lunn wrote, "Everything... does take a departure from the best Scott Walker impressions of their first effort, leaving the end product sounding less like a 60s-infused orchestra and more cinematic," further describing it as a "champagne-coated, arena-sized pop-rock album that's slick and accessibly smart."[24] Laura Snapes, on her Pitchfork review, described the first five tracks as "totally gorgeous, the strings glassy, the tone all understated seduction, the structures fluid and surprising," adding, "It's the perfect music for the Daniel Craig-era James Bond films: sophisticated, tortured—and with a weakness for temptation."[20] Matt Collar of AllMusic praised the bands songwriting, "they make writing catchy, literate songs sound easy," and said the lyrics were "wedded to their echo-chamber-laden arrangements and sneering Bowie-esque croons," describing Turner and Kane, as "debonair lounge lizards, [...] with talent and charisma to spare."[21] Barry Nicholson of NME noted that, "Turner and Kane are a far cry from the doe-eyed 22-year-olds who made ‘The Age Of The Understatement,’ and that their partnership continued, "to provoke intriguing responses from each other." He praised Owen Pallett's work on the album, and called him "the Shadow Puppets' unsung hero."[45] On the lyrics, Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph found "Bright character studies of predatory women, manipulative gurus, sleazy lotharios and outdoor sex fiends are peppered with non-sequiturs that force listeners to fill in gaps." He noted the "jokiness" of some of the lyrics confirmed the band as an escape for Turner's "more purposeful full-time band," but overall found it, "hard to fault a couple of great songwriters having an absolute ball in the studio, making pop that actually snaps and crackles."[106]

Writing for The Guardian, Alexis Petridis, thought the album was less musically focused than their first record, but also, "less inclined to lapse into straightforward pastiche." He wasn't that complimentary to the lyrics either, saying, "You can detect something a bit distasteful in their worldview: an arrogance and entitlement that all that clever wordplay can't quite cover."[25] For the same publication, Emma Mackay, was even more negative, "Their second album fulfils the premise of its title with more ravishing arrangements by Owen Pallett, while leaning less on the Scott Walker/Morricone stylings that gave their 2008 debut a whiff of pastiche," although she was more warm towards Turner's lyrics, describing them as "nuanced," she ended up the review by saying "even the best tracks —Miracle Aligner, Dracula Teeth— are just Monkeys offcuts in orchestral pop clothing."[110]
