The announcement follows the release of The Kills’ phenomenal new album God Games which was released in October to widespread praise and critical acclaim. A few days after its release, a handful of fans were lucky enough to get a sneak peek of what to expect from The Kills’ forthcoming live set at their first live show in over a year, at an incredible underplay show at London’s PRYZM. The intimate show was reviewed by The Telegraph who said “The Kills absolutely killed it”.
The UK & EU tour will follow the band’s extensive 30-date North American tour that kicks off in February. For a full list of North American tour dates, visit www.thekills.tv.
God Games centres the primal call-and-response between Mosshart’s full body vocal catharsis and Jamie Hince’s swaggering, guillotine-smooth guitar transmissions. Stretching the boundaries of the pair’s signature sound, they chose to write from new perspectives. The results find the duo composing 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.” Written beginning in 2019, the duo decamped to The Church Studios to record the album with Academy® and GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Paul Epworth [Adele, Paul McCartney], who was their very first soundman in 2002.
