The Last Shadow Puppets' primary inspiration, Scott Walker, has announced a number of live performances of songs from his last two albums.
However, the reclusive singer will not perform at the concerts - which showcase tracks from 1995's 'Tilt' and 2006's 'The Drift' - but he is producing and "sound designing" the shows.
'Drifting And Tilting: The Songs Of Scott Walker' will play for three nights at London's Barbican on November 13-15.
Songs from the two albums, Walker's most experimental, will be performed by his band, an orchestra and various guest vocalists.
A kite is a contract of glory
that must be made with the sun,
so you make friends with the field
the river and the wind,
then you pray the whole cold night before,
under the travelling cordless moon,
to make you worthy and lyric and pure.
