Following the announcement of his new album Sunlight In The Shadows (out October 17th on Easy Eye Sound), Miles Kane has released the album’s second cut in ‘Electric Flower’, as well as a run of stripped back solo in-store dates through September.
A groove laden banger ‘Electric Flower’ is Miles Kane in full on swagger mode. “‘Electric Flower’ is a proper glam rock Saturday night feeling tune. It’s one of those you stick on to get your strut on and feel good,” Miles says of the track. “This one came midway through the creation of the album. The sun was beaming in Nashville, riffs were falling from our heads onto the frets and the energy between Dan [Auerbach], me, and the band in the studio was ELECTRIC.”

Produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, Sunlight In The Shadows is 12 tracks of psych-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.
“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 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. More info HERE.
