Kings of Leon’s new record was inspired by Queens of the Stone Age, according to drummer Nathan Followill.
The world-beating Nashville band are preparing their sixth studio album and ahead of its release, they’ve added a bit more detail about its sound and influences, including country music and bands like Queens of the Stone Age and Sly and the Family Stone.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Followill said:
“Lucky for us we were all in the same headspace, and taking that break allowed us to fall back in love with what we get to do for a living. We did what we've known to do for 12 years, which was pick up our instruments and play.
"We'd go in every day and play stuff we were into, and it was interesting hearing what people were into. There are a couple songs that could be considered country ballads, even though they're not country songs. One song has more of a Queens Of The Stone Age feel. Another one sounds more like Sly And The Family Stone. It's all across the board.”
The band recently unveiled the brand new music video for the record’s first single Supersoaker, which they premiered on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show last month.
