A 21 piece LMO string section recently recorded Artic Monkey’s frontman Alex Turner’s new solo album at British Grove studios.

Alex’s album features Miles Kane (of Artic Monkey’s support act The Rascals) and Owen Pallett who arranged the string charts.  James Ford produced the album and also played drums. LMO recorded 12 tracks over 2 days and Owen Pallett and Andy Brown shared conducting duties. Steve McGlaughlin engineered the sessions and the album (as yet unnamed) will be released later in 2008. There will also be a European Tour
