my 2011 album of the year

Album of the year.

Miles Kane – colour of the trap.

Colour of the trap has to be my album of 2011. The diverse amounts of songs that draw you in to the album are simply amazing. This album has not received the right amount of credit that I think it deserves. Miles will forever live to be “the other one of that projects Alex Turner was doing”, but this album is better than the age of the understatement. You can hear that he has drawn his influences that he put into ‘The Age of the Understatement’ into Colour of the trap, but here they are more dominant, and they are very much welcomed. ‘Inhaler’ is short, sharp and shouty, that delivers Kane’s vocals superbly making you want to sing along, and keep him in your pocket, as a little pocket hobbit. ‘Rearrange’ is the album stealer for me, the intertwined lyrics with, his harmonious voice and the amazing blues beats in the background. 2012 will be the year of Miles Kane if he keeps coming up with corkers like this.
