The Kills
God Games (Deluxe Boomslang Green LP)
The Kills present their sixth studio album, God Games. Across the 12 tracks of God Games, the duo of Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince plunge into new sonic territory with this hypnotic, propulsive album while maintaining the band’s signature, seductive bravado. God Games centres the primal call-and-response between Mosshart’s full body vocal catharsis and Hince’s swaggering, guillotine-smooth guitar transmissions.
Standard weight Boomslang Green vinyl in 3mm spined outer sleeve with spot gloss. Includes 16-page booklet and download card.
Stretching the boundaries of the pair’s signature sound, they chose to write from new perspectives. The results find the duo writing primarily on piano for the first time, incorporating innovative electronic and brass textures, crystal clear production and deeply human lyrics, as well as a collaboration with the Compton Kidz Club Choir on "LA Hex" and "My Girls My Girls". Writing began in 2019, the duo decamping to an old church to record the album with Academy® and GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Paul Epworth [Adele, Paul McCartney], who was their very first sound-man in 2002.
