...The Corner of Miles and Gil is the fifth and, to date, final album by English alternative rock band Shack, released in 2006. While the album was not a high-seller, only reaching number 55 on the UK Albums Chart, it was critically acclaimed.[by whom?]
The album was released on Noel Gallagher's Sour Mash label, and the band supported Oasis on live dates in 2006 promoting the album.
The album's title was a reference to the musical partnership between Miles Davis and Gil Evans, a cited influence of Michael Head's music.
