Actually, re-reading, I'm thinking you are asking me how Turner's EP compares to the Last Shadow Puppets - if so it's COMPLETELY different. Turner's EP is him an acoustic guitar, save for a couple of strings here and there, and is a very downbeat and melancholy affair. It's lovely but not something that is going to put you in a good mood.
Might check it out. Must admit I was vaguely disappointed with The Age of The Understatement. It's one of those albums where one can see what they're trying to do, but the delivery isn't quite there. Turner & Kane had obviously been mainlining Scott Walker beforehand and he's one of those artistes whose influence is easy to detect, but who's very hard to top.
