MILES KANE
Change The Show BMG
Last Shadow Puppet gets soulful
7/10
Unfairly tagged as an indie-rock journeyman, Kane has now made what he has called a “grand, souly album”. And at times his bold move pays off. Opener “Tears Are Falling” benefits from Kane adopting a faintly Bolanesque vocal purr, while the boogiefuelled party manifesto of “Never Get Tired Of Dancing” makes for an ebullient party-starter. At times the overuse of a stomping Northern Soul beat on tracks such as “Tell Me What You’re Feeling” and “Caroline” results in pedestrian, club-footed grooves, but “Coming Of Age” is a nice lilting piano-led anthem and the descending chords of “Adios Ta-Ra Ta-Ra” make for a captivating closer.
