Miles Kane shares the throwback guitar-driven rocker “Without You,” a vibe filled track made for packing the dance floor. This is the latest single from his forthcoming album Sunlight In The Shadows, which was produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys and releases October 17 on Easy Eye Sound.Â
“For me, the track is a rock ‘n’ roll creeper,” Kane says of the track. “The underdog of the album that has that 70s dark vibe to it. It was one of the very first tunes Dan and I wrote together and it’s still got that rawness to it.”
Sunlight In The Shadows 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 Kane’s signature rippled tremolo guitar and a whole lot of fun. Early singles “Love Is Cruel” and “I Pray” garnered early praise 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.”
The British singer-songwriter is an established UK artist with five Top 20 albums of pocket-dynamite pop and psychedelic groove as well as two UK #1 LPs as half of The Last Shadow Puppets with Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner. Teaming up with a host of incredible musicians for the new record, Kane and Auerbach wrote 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, alongside the record’s guitar army of Tom Bukovac, Cage The Elephant’s Nick Bockrath and Little Barrie’s Barrie Cadogan.
