NME about the fresh creative approach that made their long-awaited sixth album possible The Kills have shared new single ‘103’ and announced details of their long-awaited sixth album ‘God Games’.Last month, the duo comprised of vocalist Alison Mosshart and guitarist Jamie Hince, teased their new album with the release of a dual single ‘New York’/’LA Hex’. ‘New York’ saw the pair merging their trademark, gritty rock and roll sound with cinematic horns and rattling rhythm, while ‘LA Hex’ saw them layering warped trumpets and choral harmonies on top of a stuttering beat.Today (August 30), along with the announcement of ‘God Games’ – their first album in seven years since 2016’s ‘Ashes & Ice‘ – the band have shared the album’s third single ‘103’, which Mosshart has described as a “dark twisted love song”. ‘103’ kicks in with pounding and crashing percussion, dizzying distorted guitars, and Mosshart musing over her experience driving back and forth from Los Angeles to Nashville during the pandemic, likening the heat she felt to an “apocalyptic vibe”.The Kills have also shared the visuals for the track, which were shot in rock and fashion photographer Steven Sebring’s 3D film studio in New York City.
In the video, Mosshart and Hince rotate under a blistering sun while donning tanning goggles and reflective suits, taking on the rising flames in stride.
The album’s lead singles, much like the rest of the collection, see The Kills venturing into fresh sonic territory — the creative result of taking on a different approach in the studio.“We had all these demos, and this record was burning a hole in us,” Mosshart told NME.
