Ahead of kicking off a run of stripped back solo in-store dates later this month, Miles Kane releases ‘I Pray,’ the latest cut to be taken from his forthcoming new album Sunlight In The Shadows. The album comes out October 17th on Easy Eye Sound.
Opening with a delicately infectious guitar line, ‘I Pray’ cascades into an unapologetically honest soaring anthem. “I had the riff for ‘I Pray’ before I went into the studio with Dan, but it really came to life once we got working on the track together,” Miles says of the track. “As I’ve gotten older I’ve become a bit more spiritual and have realised it’s important for me to tune into that side of my life, so this song is about being able to embrace learning something new about yourself while staying true to who you are.”
Directed by James Slater (Sam Fender, Jamie T, Yard Act), Miles goes back to basics in the beautifully shot video. “I wanted something straight forward for this video, no bells and whistles. I went back to Liverpool to film it and just wanted to perform with the band so the song could speak for itself.
Produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, 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 Miles’ signature rippled tremolo guitar and a whole lot of fun.
Teaming up with a host of incredible musicians for the record Kane and Auerbach wrote the album’s eleven 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.
Following a run of dates with The Black Keys in July and an electrifying main stage performance at TRNSMT, Miles heads out on a string of stripped back solo UK in-store shows through September & October. More info HERE.
