“Bad Habits” by The Last Shadow Puppets

"Bad Habits" brought the Last Shadow Puppets back after eight years away: the lead single from their second album, Everything You've Come to Expect, it arrived on Domino on 10 January 2016 along with its video, their first single since "My Mistakes Were Made for You" in 2008. Alex Turner and Miles Kane wrote it, sing it and play guitar on it, and the seed was Turner on bass with Kane singing over the top; they've admitted the first take ran close to 40 minutes.

James Ellis Ford produced and plays the drums and percussion, Zachary Dawes takes the bass on the record, and Tchad Blake mixed. Stereogum heard a brash, slithering groove with string flourishes from Owen Pallett, and Spin heard those strings stirring unease into the chaos.
