Today The Kills sold out their first UK show of 2011 in 15 minutes. The show at London's Heaven will take place on March 31st. Tickets went on sale this morning (Friday 21st January) and the 1000 capacity venue was completely sold out in 15 minutes. The show comes a matter of days before the new album 'Blood Pressures' is released through Domino on April 4th.
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.
'Blood Pressures' finds The Kills with their swagger and sass intact, but with a new thoughtfulness and depth - even a tinge of wistfulness and vulnerability - to their always compelling songwriting. As one of the most vital, striking bands recording today, The Kills' vividly unique "rock" is at once effortless, edgy and timeless.
'Blood Pressures' is the 4th LP the band has released, following 'Midnight Boom' (2008), 'No Wow' (2005) and 'Keep on Your Mean Side' (2002). Watch this space for single and tour news!
