The Kills Midnight Boom [Domino/Mar 10] |
| Though I have admittedly not listened to The Kills with any regularity since their 2003 debut, I also lack an explanation as to why (I loved that album). Having downloaded their latest LP a couple of months ago, I randomly put it on again last week and something clicked — namely that this album is brilliant. Probably better than Keep On Your Mean Side, even. The band’s raw songs are as catchy as ever, and the production is perfectly abrasive. VV’s vocals are spot on, with a heavy reliance on melodic PJ Harvey-styled causticity. And the mellow moments (“Black Balloon” and the stunning closer “Goodnight Bad Morning”) add a delicate, complimentary flavor to the edgy mood that surrounds.
RIYL: The White Stripes, PJ Harvey, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Raveonettes, Mary Timony |
