The Kills with Dax Riggs

On "Midnight Boom," The Kills - Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart, subtly and organically fuse pop, glam, blues, art-punk and hip hop, in a manner that flits between light and dark, funny and morbid, experimental and cute. The result is a short, sharp twelve track album of sensual, fresh and atmospheric songs. While the previous two Kills albums have been constructed around their guitars, "Midnight Boom" is a more beat-driven album, and finds the band broadening their sound. "Midnight Boom" is burning bright, both timeless and utterly contemporary, a reminder that no one on earth makes rock and roll quite like the Kills.
