The Last Shadow Puppets tease new material in first Facebook post in 7 years

The post contains a mysterious video ending with the title card 'Spring 2016'.

Roll your mind back to 2008 and you'll remember The Age of the Understatement; the album which saw Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner and Miles Kane come together as The Last Shadow Puppets.

Now, 7 years later. they're back. The outfit posted a minute-long video to their Facebook page, which had last seen activity back on 19 April 2008; it features an unnerving string section played over dreamlike images, clearly referencing David Lynch's work, ending on the card 'Spring 2016' and what sounds like the opening drum beat to a new song.

This appears to be an announcement that the duo has officially finished work on a follow-up record to The Age of the Understatement; a factoid first officially revealed by Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford, who plays drums for the band, in an interview with Chilean music site Rock & Pop and translated by Stereogum, "This year, I've just done a Last Shadow Puppets record, which is the guy from Arctic Monkeys and Miles… so we did the follow-up album to that. That’s the last thing I did.” 

The title card presumably indicates a Spring 2016 release date for the record.
