The second single from Suck It And See has a Last Shadow Puppets’ feel – a smooth, swinging sixties air complete with twanging guitars and coy crooning from Alex. His voice bears all the hallmarks of sardonic, off-hand seduction, but fuck knows what he’s singing about. “She’s got a telescopic hallelujah hanging up on the wall,” he says, “For when it gets too complicated in the eye of the storm.” I don’t want to be too hard on the boy, but that’s some serious gobbledygook from an erstwhile genius songwriter.
