The Kills God Games

The Kills announce their sixth studio album "God Games", which will be released on October 27th via Domino. On the 12 tracks of "God Games" Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince venture into new sonic realms without losing the band's typical bravura. After the double single "New York/LA Hex" from July 2023, the album announcement on August 30th will be accompanied by the single "103". While "LA Hex" focused its gaze on the emotional and interpersonal realities of modern life in Los Angeles, "103" (Fahrenheit) illuminates the brutal reality of the city's frightening unlivability through the lens of a dark, twisted love song - Mosshart sings cutting lyrics like "stick with me under the last palm tree / and sip a little water from the dirty fountain meant to be / the sum of it all". "God Games" focuses on the primal call-and-response between Mosshart's full-body vocal catharsis and Hince's swaggering, guillotine-smooth guitar playing. They expanded on the pair's signature sound and decided to write from new perspectives. Writing primarily on the piano for the first time, the duo incorporated 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". Work on the album began in 2019 and the duo moved into an old church to record the album with Academy® and GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Paul Epworth [Adele, Paul McCartney], who was their first-ever soundman in 2002.
