Domino

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

The Last Shadow Puppets is a supergroup consisting of Alex Turner, Miles Kane, and composer/producer James Ford. They have collaborated with Owen Pallett on string arrangements.
Alex Turner is known for his work as the lead vocalist and guitarist of Arctic Monkeys, while Miles Kane has made a name for himself as a solo artist. James Ford has an impressive background in music production, having worked with bands like Simian Mobile Disco and Klaxons.
Together, The Last Shadow Puppets create a unique blend of indie rock and orchestral pop. Their music showcases their individual talents and creative vision, resulting in captivating melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. With their distinct sound and dynamic performances, they have gained a loyal fanbase worldwide.

back in stock! The last shadow puppets are alex turner (from arctic monkeys) and miles kane (from the rascals). firm friends ever since arctic monkeys toured with kane's previous group, the little flames, the pair were so inspired by listening to the likes of scott walker, early bowie and david axelrod, that they hatched a plan. the last shadow puppets recorded the songs at black box studios near nantes, france in two weeks during the summer of 2007, with producer and drummer james ford (simian mobile disco). the band then approached owen pallett (final fantasy) to arrange and conduct the orchestration of the tracks, which were recorded by the 22 piece london metropolitan orchestra at british grove studios in london over christmas. 'the age of the understatement', is an album of 12 full-blooded songs, bold and brassy, full of drama, wit and melody, that source the past but avoid falling into pastiche. both miles and alex are 22, and this is a youthful record, full of life and the sheer pleasure of music making. on domino.
