Miles Kane to return with Dan Auerbach produced album, Sunlight In The Shadows

“It’s easy to reflect on life and to get caught up in what’s happened before,” Miles Kane says of the track. “It’s important not to let those thoughts control you. The track begins with “she’s a midnight scooter rider,” which is one of my favourite opening lines to a single. It sets the tone lyrically and musically for what’s to come. Think Clint Eastwood and Judy Garland in the desert at dusk!”

“All roads, over 20 years, have led here,” he continues 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."

Miles Kane and producer Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys wrote the album 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.

"This record was incredible to make," Dan Auerbach declares, "from start to finish. I felt like I gained a life-long friend in Miles. And that doesn't always happen. When it does, it's amazing. This is an artist who could potentially make records forever."

Miles Kane returns to the road for a run of UK dates supporting The Black Keys through July, including a show at London’s Alexandra Park Palace on 11 July. He will also play the final ever show at The Leadmill in Sheffield on 27 June.
