Album Review of "Sunlight in the Shadows" by Miles Kane (8/10)

Easy Eye Sound
Producer: Dan Auerbach

On Sunlight in the Shadows Miles Kane appears nostalgic, slightly bruised, but very much alive. With producer Dan Auerbach steering production, the album leans into glam-rock swagger and Northern-soul warmth, all the while hinting at some underlying weary tenderness. Songs like “Slow Death” and “Sing A Song To Love” offer a loose, sweaty urgency, but cracks show too—on quieter cuts like “Always in Over My Head,” you hear vulnerability peeking out from beneath the strut. It’s not a reinvention so much as a confident continuation.
