Miles Kane has sparked fresh speculation that The Last Shadow Puppets could be planning a third album after revealing he recently met up with bandmate Alex Turner for dinner.
The supergroup, made up of former Rascals frontman Miles Kane, Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner, drummer James Ford and bassist Zach Dawes, last released Everything You've Come to Expect in April 2016. Their debut album, The Age of the Understated, came out in 2008, and the group has since earned two No. 1 albums and a BRIT Award nomination.
Dinner ahead of Radio Appearance
Kane, 40, appeared on Absolute Radio to mark the tenth anniversary of the band's last record. During the interview, he revealed that he had been with Turner, also 40, just hours earlier. "Weirdly, you know, as I film this, me and Al had, we had dinner last night," he said.
He added: "It seems quite fitting the next day that we are talking about this. This is a special record, isn't it? And I think it's a record that I do get asked about a lot. And I feel like a lot of younger people have discovered this record. And I think it's, I don't know, I think it's held in high regard in a lot of people's hearts, and I really appreciate that. I'm sure Al would too as well, you know."
Memories of Making the Record
Kane recalled the making of Everything You've Come to Expect in Los Angeles. "We made this in LA. We were both living over there at the time, and we would make the demos in Al's spare bedroom downstairs. I remember us making like Aviation – that was the start really of this record. The last song to get written on it was Everything You've Come to Expect, which Al put the graft in on that tune," he said.
He continued: "I remember him, it sort of, it was something else at the start, but he sort of honed into it and really made it this sort of unique tune, really. It sort of opened the door for him creatively moving forward."
Fan Reaction
The interview clip, liked over 10,000 times on Instagram, prompted a strong reaction from fans. One commented: "So they had dinner last night. Is this saying that they are thinking about a third album?" Another wrote: "TLSP must come back, pleaseeee." A third said: "@mileskane please beloved Mister, we desperately need your third baby," while a fourth added: "2025 was the year of Oasis, 2027 TLSP reunion?"
In 2022, Kane did not rule out a follow-up record, confirming that he and Turner had spoken about it. He said: "I mean, when we get together, we chat about it. We're both, you know, doing our thing at the minute, and I reckon there will be a trilogy, but it's not. It's not in the distance yet; it's not on the horizon."
