Thursday, 20 January 2011
Written by Jon Stickler
Fresh from announcing the title and track listing for their new album ‘Blood Pressures’ out April 4th 2011, The Kills are pleased to announce new North American and European tour dates for March, April and May. Dates include a London headline show at Heaven on Thursday 31st March, their first UK headline show in over two years.
The Kills - Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart - are back with a new studio album, 'Blood Pressures', the highly anticipated follow-up to their critically acclaimed third album, 'Midnight Boom'.
With their basic sound intact - searing guitars, driving rhythms and sexually charged lyrical savvy - the 11 tracks on 'Blood Pressures' find The Kills embracing a fuller sound and becoming more adventurous in the studio, while the lyrics are honest, heartfelt and sometimes just plain heartbreaking. Departing from the sparse, angular sound of 'Midnight Boom', the duo explores complex textures on 'Blood Pressures'. There is heavier instrumentation and layered, huge-sounding harmonies. Alison and Jamie play all the instruments on the album, including piano and mellotron.
