I’ve really warmed to The Kills latest album Midnight Boom in the last few weeks. Before I always thought they were style over substance but this album really nails the sparse rock ‘n’ roll combo rather well. It helps that Mosshart and Hince drafted XXXChange of Spank Rock to work on the beats. You can stream samples of each song on the album at Midnightboom.com. Video for ‘Cheap and Cheerful’ after the jump.
Here’s a dubstep remix from Jazzsteppa and an accompanying video.
