Kills MIDNIGHT BOOM - Vinyl
Shuffling off the minimalist garage scuzz of their previous records, the Kills deliver a near visionary knock-out on their third full-length and Domino debut, MIDNIGHT BOOM. Like a marriage of Royal Trux and LCD Soundsystem, the half-British, half-American duo deconstruct rock riffs, rescrambling them into catchy sound shards and setting them atop driving club-ready rhythms. The result is a hyper-sexualized glam brew that trawls the gutters outside both the rock club and the discotheque.
Singer VV and guitarist Hotel engage in carnal vocal exchanges played out over breathy calls-to-arms and delectable hooks, making for one of the best trashy rock tandems since Karen O and Nick Zinner first plugged in. "I'm sick of social graces," VV sings on the stand-out anthem "Cheap and Cheerful" and judging by the introductory hacking cough that starts the track, one can take her at her word.
