So here is my traduction of the french interview of Miles :D
I'm only 14 so sorry for my english ahah. Hope you'll understand.

Q: You have just done three gigs in Paris this week in l'Olympia or le Zénith. What did you think?
Miles : It was amazing and a bit crazy too! First, I love Paris, I'm feeling good, I like the atmosphere and play in this city makes me happy. This time, I go onstage with my bestfriend and this allowed me to share my "enthusiasm" et enjoy each moment with a person who's dear to me, what really has no price. And the Parisian public was brilliant : see the people dancing and singing Come Closer's lyrics or Inhaler's lyrics has really touched me? I really had a great week!

Q : You return from a tour in Australia followed by another in Spain. Was it the first time that you come in these places?
Miles : Exactly. I've been to Australia in the end of December and I stay around 3 weeks there. I did the support of Arctic Monkeys and we had fun. The only thing a little annoying was the size of the country. This is so big that you must take the plane between two shows. I was very happy to be back home after these weeks on the road. Then I've been in Spain for three shows, still with my friends and there, it was a big surprise for me : the people are festive and can make a show an exceptional moment! It's clearly one of the greatest public I have ever met! And, finally, I flew to France to finish this with beauty.

Q : Let's speak about music now. At the Olympia, you've played a new song "The First Of My Kind". It seems different from other, more dark maybe..
Miles : Yes it's a pretty dark song with very pops choirs and a "James Bond" touch. This is removed but serious at the same time. I think this song has character. I like playing this song. In fact I find this song rock'n'roll with these guitars who's getting excited suddenly and these aggressive beats. To me, it's a good tittle !

Q : Do you think that this tittle means the direction where you want to go for your next album?
Miles : It's a bit early to speak about the next opus but I think yes, with this song, we have a good beginning. Anyway, this is definitely a good transition and a good introduction to my second disc. I think it's an exciting song and it marks a progression. One thing is sure : I want to make you dance!

(This is the first part. Wait for the second ;) )

Part 2!

Q : We know that you're very prolific. Are you already thinking and working on the next effort ?
Miles : The ideal would be to release the next album for the next autumn. For the moment I'm focusing on the songwriting, 10 I think. When it will be ready and I will be satisfaid, I will go in studio and record the songs. I want to be the best so it's better to take your time. But I can already tell you that it advances a lot.

Q : You've also played "Standing next to me" , great song from TLSP, at l'Olympia with your partner and friend Alex Turner. You said that there will be a successor at "The Age of the Understatement", so what about?
Miles : For the moment, it's not my priority and not Alex' too. He's busy with Arctic Monkeys in America and for me I'm focus on the next album. But yes there will be a following album because it's important for us and it will come when the time will come to get back in this adventure. Meanwhile, it was very cool to play "Standing Next To Me" in Paris. We like l'Olympia and it was totally appropriate to take the guitar, the tambourine and play it ! Not to mention that there is nothing like the people's reaction when you start to play a song from the Puppets : they become hysterical.

Q : You seem to pay attention to how you dress and your style on stage. Do you think there is a link between rock n'roll and fashion? And how?
Miles : That's sure! Fashion and rock go together! This give an attitude and some character. Wear clothes that you like helps to create a character. I love mine and I'm not ready to change! I think it's good to feel at easy, good looking and sexy! This is me : a modern mod!

Q : You're gonna play a gig at la Cigale, on the 30th in April in Paris. What do you expect for this first "big" gig in Paris ?
Miles : I can't wait ! It gonna be something, I feel it ! I know that it's a nice "room" because I've already played there in November 2011 and I think this means a new step for me ! Now, we pass in the serious things (laughs) ! At La Cigale, we'll set fire ! Get Ready !
