“I Nearly Quit Music” – Miles Kane on Arctic Monkeys, Paul Weller & The Dark Side of Fame
Description
On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are joined by indie rock legend Miles Kane, fresh off announcing his new album Sunlight and Shadows.
From tales of wild North London nights with Arctic Monkeys to lessons learned from Paul Weller, Miles opens up about his 20-year career, his creative rebirth in Nashville, and why he’s finally embracing calm over chaos.
The trio get nostalgic reminiscing about red leather trousers, chaotic kids’ birthday parties, and the eternal north vs south debate. In Agony Abs, Abbey, Pete, and Miles tackle listeners’ dilemmas — from neighbours posting poo through letterboxes to partners making shocking Amex mistakes.
