Miles Kane – Come Closer

Check out the latest sneak peak at Miles Kane’s first solo album, due out on February 21st, 2011.

“Come Closer” has the same 60’s inspired sound of The Last Shadow Puppets but it maintains aggressiveness of his guitar from his Rascals days. His sound has mellowed a bit with catchy pop hooks and he really runs with the retro sound, embellishing it with doo wop back up vocalists.

It seems that this 60’s inspired rock sound that began with The Last Shadow Puppets is a continuing thread in his music. Although, he might have a bit of competition from Liam Gallagher and Oasis, I mean Beady Eye, and their whole 60’s inspired rock sound (see my previous post).

Not to be outdone, Miles Kane announced that Noel Gallagher will make a guest appearance on a track called “My Fantasy,” while Kane will play guitar on Noel Gallagher’s own solo album.

I am super amped for his forthcoming album, so far the sneak peeks we’ve gotten have been pretty encouraging. Simply see Exhibit A— Inhaler and of course, Exhibit B – the subject of today’s post the recently released video to “Come Closer” which is below.



Here’s the fantastic live studio version.
