Colour of the Trap, Miles Kane's first solo album, came out on Columbia in May 2011, after the Rascals had called it quits in 2009. Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys, his partner in the Last Shadow Puppets, was also his main songwriting partner here, alongside Gruff Rhys and Sean Bonniwell, and the London sessions were produced by Rhys, Dan Carey, Dan the Automator and Craig Silvey.
It's sharp-suited indie rock with a vintage swagger, all strutting guitars, big hooks and Kane's cocky croon. "Come Closer" is the one built for a festival crowd, fists up and hips moving. The guests are a curious pair: Clémence Poésy turns up on "Happenstance" and Noel Gallagher on "My Fantasy". Laurence Ellis shot the black-and-white cover portrait, with Kane's name splashed across it in light purple.
