In this episode, Mark Millar is joined by Miles Kane to discuss his new album Sunlight in the Shadows — a swaggering, soulful record made with Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. Recorded live in Nashville over three days, the album blends British beat energy, Motown soul, and Miles’ unmistakable tremolo swagger. He opens up about the instant chemistry with Auerbach, finding calm and spirituality in his music, and why this feels like the defining moment of his career.
