Releasing next Tuesday, Blood Pressures is sure to satiate any Kills fan who has been impatiently waiting for new material. As the album is so aptly named, Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince have found a way to get the blood pumping once again with their dark, bluesy garage rock, hard hitting sound. Opening up the album, "Future Starts Slow" has a familiar musical quality to material in The Kills' last album Midnight Boom as if it were a bridge from their past to present sound. Cue to "Satellite," the sickest, most seductive song ever created (although a few tracks later "DNA" gives it a close run). There are just no other musicians around that have been able to harness the bluesy power, dark intrigue, and all-consuming air that surrounds The Kills' music. Although I didn't think possible, Blood Pressures definitely goes a step beyond its predecessors; its an album that is not only musically strong but also explorative.
Notable Tracks:
1. "Future Starts Slow"
2. "Satellite"
4. "Nail in my Coffin"
6. "DNA"
9. "Damned If She Do"
11. "Pots and Pans"
