Sunlight in the Shadows

Lush 1970s-inspired chamber pop and glam rock. Miles Kane trades his usual indie swagger for cinematic strings, piano ballads, and a heavy dose of golden-hour melancholy.

It's Miles Kane doing his best 70s Bowie impression with a full orchestra and a broken heart.

A sophisticated, string-drenched meditation on love and loss that feels like a classic 1970s art-pop record.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sweeping orchestral swell that swallows the guitar solo in the title track

The transition from the gritty glam stomp of Electric Flower into the lush piano balladry of the mid-album

The haunting, isolated vocal harmony that closes out Walk on the Ocean
