Miles Kane - Sunlight In The Shadows

 

Miles Kane — Sunlight In The Shadows

Limited edition "Blue Skies" colored vinyl

Sunlight In The Shadows, produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, is 12 tracks of psyche-infused rock-n-roll. Layered with lush, screeching guitars and packed to the brim with hooks, the album delicately toes the line between raw, energetic rock and laid-back crooning anthems, all with a sprinkling of Miles' signature rippled tremolo guitar and a whole lot of fun. Early singles "Love Is Cruel" and "I Pray" garnered attention from Clash, The Line of Best Fit, DIY Mag and NME, and the groove-laden banger "Electric Flower" was praised by FLOOD, who said "While Auerbach's familiar penchant for soulful rock grooves can be heard throughout ‘Electric Flower,' the track's defining trait is its boogying homage to the tradition of T. Rex."

"All roads, over 20 years, have led here," Miles says of the journey to creating Sunlight In The Shadows. "Dan and I love mixing T. Rex, Motown and The Easybeats and the result is this record. When we were chatting and sharing references, we were so similar in taste it was frightening and you can hear that shared passion through the music. I can't wait to take it out on the road. It's an album that needs to be played live."

Teaming up with a host of incredible musicians for the record, Kane and Auerbach wrote the album's 11 original songs with contributions from Pat McLaughlin, Daniel Tashian and The Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney. Auerbach sings backing vocals and plays on every track, as part of the record's guitar army with Tom Bukovac, guitarist Nick Bockrath of Cage The Elephant and Barrie Cadogan from British garage futurists Little Barrie.
