Miles Kane in session tonight – recorded live in the studios of Radio France -FIP on October 16, 2025.
Miles Kane rings a bell as a former co-frontman with The Shadow Puppets and was also the former frontman of the Rascals, before the band announced their break-up in August 2009.
He has focused on a solo career since 2011 but remains a member of the Last Shadow Puppets (2007-present) alongside Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner. His debut solo album, Colour of the Trap, was released on 9 May 2011. Kane’s latest solo album, Sunlight in the Shadows, was released on 17 October 2025 through Easy Eye Sound.
While touring with the Arctic Monkeys, Kane and Arctic Monkeys front man Alex Turner began to experiment together backstage, which resulted in the composition of new tracks. Realizing there was a future in their songwriting partnership, they formed the Last Shadow Puppets. The duo decided to travel to the West Coast of France with producer James Ford where they recorded their debut album The Age of the Understatement in just two weeks. Their album went straight to number 1 in the UK Album Charts with the single of the same name reaching number 1 in the Indie Single Charts, and subsequent singles also reaching high spots. They first played together live in the UK, doing a secret set at Glastonbury with a special guest appearance from Jack White, to whom Kane lent his iPod so White could learn the solo. The band’s album won the Mojo Breakthrough Award. In December 2015 it was confirmed on the band’s official Facebook and YouTube accounts, that the second album was due in spring 2016.
Miles Kane was featured on the song “Dealer”, released on Lana Del Rey‘s eighth studio album, Blue Banisters. He wrote the song with Del Rey in 2017, for a planned collaborative album between him, Del Rey, and Zach Dawes. His vocals were credited on the album.
Kane’s fifth solo album, One Man Band, was released in August 2023. This album marked his first collaboration with his cousins Ian and James Skelly; the former played drums and the latter produced the record.
Sunlight in the Shadows was released on 17 October 2025 through Easy Eye Sound.
Produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, the album has 12 tracks and has been described as psyche-infused rock and roll.
And that lands us smack in the middle of 2025 and this acoustic session in Paris.
Crank it up and enjoy.
