MILES KANE Colour Of The Trap (2011 UK 12-track CD album - Recorded in London with Dan Carey [Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip] and San Francisco with Dan The Automator [Gorillaz, Kasabian], 'Colour of the Trap' is a glorious exploration into the darkercorners of vintage pop, psych and blue-eyed soul sounds by Miles; half boy-next-door, half charisma-firework, all instantly loveable star quality. For such a stellar record, it's perhaps fitting that this 12 track collection boasts an all-starcast. Miles' Last Shadow Puppets sparring partner and full time Arctic Monkey Alex Turner worked with Miles on the aptly named 'Telepathy', while Super Furry Animal Gruff Rhys provides backing vocals throughout the album and co-wrote the turbulent moody blues of 'Kingcrawler'. Noel Gallagher appears as well, helping out with harmonies on 'My Fantasy'. The breathy, psychedelic romance 'Happenstance' features another guest: French actress Clémence Poésy, best known for her roles in 'In Bruges' and 'Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire').
