The Kills announce their sixth studio album, God Games
The album’s announcement is accompanied by brand new single, “103", and news of a special Halloween show at PRYZM in Kingston.
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.
Following last month’s critically acclaimed dual single “New York/LA Hex,” the album’s announcement is accompanied by single “103.” Shot in storied rock/fashion photographer and metaverse pioneer Steven Sebring’s custom-built 3D film studio, the video for “103” sees The Kills underneath the glare of an angry, imposing sun.
Stretching the boundaries of the pair’s signature sound, they chose to write from new perspectives; writing primarily on piano for the first time, 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 GRAMMY Award-winning producer Paul Epworth [Adele, Paul McCartney], who was their very first sound engineer in 2002. God Games follows 2016's Ash & Ice.
