Alex Turner gets his groove on in new Last Shadow Puppets "Miracle Aligner" music video

You could say he looks good on the dancefloor...

The Last Shadow Puppets is a good side-project for Arctic Monkeys' frontman Alex Turner.

Not only does it free him up to explore music genres - as can be heard on their octennial second record Everything You've Come to Expect - but it seems to provide he and musical mate Miles Kane the chance to have a bit more fun with their material.

The music video for new single "Miracle Aligner" is further proof of this. Donning makeup and feeling the groove, the duo proceed to spend the song's entirety dancing through an extravagantly grand room. Watch it for yourself above.

The track - an album highlight - is taken from their first record since 2008's The Age of the Understatement which debuted at number one in April. To celebrate the chart-topper's release, the duo performed a one-off gig in London's Hackney Empire.

A tour across the UK, US and Europe follows with several festival spots lined up throughout the summer including a stop at Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage.

Of course, this isn't the first time Turner has taken to the stage having headlined with Arctic Monkeys twice before in 2007 and 2013.
