They have a new album coming out, titled "Midnight Boom" (No release date or cover art yet).


A single and video have already been released.

Not too impressed with the new video, but I'm addicted to the single, "U R A Fever".

I also enjoy, and highly recommend there first 2 albums, "Keep On Your Mean Side", and "No Wow" if you've yet to listen to them.


I was surprised to find they've gotten little attention on the metacritic forums.

I think they're very underrated.
(I'm sure some of you might reply with "her vocals are too PJ Harvey-influenced", or "There's bands who do what they do better" or something. But come on, they do have SOME original thoughts.)

Anyways, enough rambling.

Anyone love (or NOT love) The Kills?

Either this thread got lost in the shuffle, or there really is noone with an opinion of The Kills.

I enjoyed the first two albums quite a bit, and I'm looking forward to this one. Not expecting anything groundbreaking though...

I'm gonna bump this.

Anyways,

I think "Midnight Boom" is total of-the-minute originality.


NO band, right now, sounds like them.

It's a scuzzy, fun, dark, sexy indie rock album.


Anyone else listening?

I have been wanting to give this album a listen. In the latest issue of Paste, it was tagged with as an "Editor's Pick." However, I can't it find it anywhere in town, I'll keep looking though.

I love this album. I can see it easily getting on my year end list. Be Your Own Pet is a good comparison for their earlier albums.

great album, one of my fave of the year so far, will probably remain in the top 3 for sure
