Coup de Grace

Miles Kane

Swaggering indie rock infused with glam-rock stomps and post-breakup defiance. A high-octane collection of punchy choruses and sharp, mod-inspired guitar work.

Coup de Grace is the sound of a musician fighting his way out of a creative and emotional corner. Recorded in a whirlwind two-week session in Los Angeles, the album trades the polished mod-pop of Kane's earlier work for a grit-flecked, glam-rock swagger. There is a palpable sense of urgency here, likely born from the 'rut' Kane described following a difficult breakup. The influence of co-writer Jamie T is evident in the wordy, rhythmic delivery and the anthemic quality of the hooks, which feel designed for sweaty club floors and festival main stages alike.

Moments Worth Listening For
The moment Lana Del Rey's hazy backing vocals drift into the bridge of Loaded, softening the track's sharp edges.
The explosive, wrestling-inspired opening riff of the title track that feels like a physical strike.
The frantic, T. Rex-indebted glam stomp of Cry On My Guitar that peaks with a snarling solo.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
