Miles Kane tells us about introspective new album ‘One Man Band’ and shares single ‘Troubled Son’

Miles Kane has announced details of new album ‘One Man Band’ with the introspective single ‘Troubled Son’. Check it out below, along with the indie veteran telling us about what to expect from the record, and if there’ll be new music from The Last Shadow Puppets and The Jaded Hearts Club.The announcement of ‘One Man Band’ – which will be Kane’s fifth solo album – comes hot on the heels of his 2022 LP, ‘Change The Show’.  As the guitarist and singer-songwriter told NME, however, the new release couldn’t come at a better time – aiming to reflect his current frame of mind in the most raw and authentic way possible.“I feel like that was like the most fitting song to come back with,” Kane said of ‘Troubled Son’ representing the album as a whole. “It’s a song [about how] we all have struggles in our lives, and sometimes we have shit together, sometimes we don’t.

It’s like looking at myself in the mirror and acknowledging my faults, my fears, and sort of showing my journey.”He continued: “I’m trying to figure it out. Sometimes you feel insecure. Sometimes you feel like the king of the world.

It’s battling those sorts of [emotions]…‘Shit, am I good enough? Is this good enough?’”Written at the tail-end of 2022, the 11-track album is balanced on contrast, he explained. It ventures back to the sound of his some of his earlier music – notably ‘Don’t Forget Who You Are’ and ‘Inhaler’ – as a way to create something new. It takes an isolated, emotional theme, and conveys it in a “super upbeat” way, designed for festival stages.“The whole album is pretty pumping,” Kane told NME.

“There was a conscious effort that I wanted to make it super upbeat. I didn’t want any strings. No brass.
