The Last Shadow Puppets - “Aviation” Video

Last week, one of our writers got some Twitter heat when he posted the Last Shadow Puppets’ video for “Everything You’ve Come To Expect” while pointing out how fucked up it was when Shadow Puppets member Miles Kane sexually harassed a female writer during a SPIN interview. Here’s the thing, though: It is our job to post new music from relevant artists. The Last Shadow Puppets are a relevant band, and their forthcoming sophomore album, also called Everything You’ve Come To Expect, is, at least on some level, a big deal. It’s possible, and maybe even necessary, to acknowledge that even as we keep posting their music and their videos. So yeah, we’re going to keep posting their music, even if we’re pretty fucking grossed out by what Miles Kane did in that interview. And now they’ve got a Saam Farahmand-directed video for the new song “Aviation,” which has both Shadow Puppets digging a grave while a weeping bride, a group of mobsters, and a blindfolded string quartet look on. It’s a pretty cool video! Also: Fuck these guys!
