Let it be known that on January 11th, 2011, my dreams have become a reality. I cannot adequately express how much what I am about to say means to me, but The Kills have just announced their follow-up album to 2008's Midnight Boom, Blood Pressures. What an apt name, seeing as mine has absolutely skyrocketed upon hearing this. Excuse the overexcitement, but it is hard for me to convey a) how much I idolize Alison Mosshart, b) how long I have been waiting for this, and c) how much I have prayed that they would play live shows together again. Horrible rumors were spread a while ago about Kate Moss, who happens to be Jamie Hince's ex-girlfriend, throwing Jamie's computer (which had the only copies of their new tracks) into a pool and ruining all their work...I still am unsure if this is true or not, but needless to say I was not happy; that, combined with Mosshart's new role as lead singer of The Dead Weather, sadly gave me doubts of the promise of this ever happening. And against all odds, it has. And I'm fucking ecstatic. The duo posted this morning that their new album is set to be released April 5th... just in time for Coachella but I won't get my hopes up just yet. The tracklist is as follows:
01 Future Starts Slow
02 Satellite
03 Heart Is a Beating Drum
04 Nail in My Coffin
05 Wild Charms
06 DNA
07 Baby Says
08 Last Goodbye
09 Damned If She Do
10 You Don't Own the Road
11 Pots and Pans
My god, EVERY SINGLE track name is amazing. I can't wait.
