LYSSNA: Kings of Leon – ”Mechanical Bull” (album)

Kings of Leons sjätte studioalbum har landat.

Redan i juli släppte Kings of Leon sin smakprovssingel Supersoaker. Uppföljaren till 2010 års Come Around Sundown ges ut först i nästa vecka men i sedvanlig ordning går den redan nu att streama via iTunes.

LYSSNA HÄR.

I en intervju med Rolling Stone beskriver Nathan Followill albumprocessen med följande ord:

“This is our sixth record, so we kinda know. But you notice the little things, like someone tapping their foot or people whistling a melody in the studio all day. You have little signs. But for the most part we had to go back to the drawing board and say, “Do we continue this song or do we stop this one and do something else?” Lucky for us we were all in the same headspace, and taking that break allowed us to fall back in love with what we get to do for a living. We did what we’ve known to do for 12 years, which was pick up our instruments and play.”

“We’d go in every day and play stuff we were into, and it was interesting hearing what people were into. There are a couple songs that could be considered country ballads, even though they’re not country songs. One song has more of a Queens of the Stone Age feel. Another one sounds more like Sly and the Family Stone. It’s all across the board.”
