Crafting an astounding amount of sound from the boy-girl duo
It's been three years since the boy-girl duo The Kills has released an album but in the years since, the two have kept mighty busy: Alison Mosshart as lead singer in Jack White's Dead Weather outfit and Jamie Hince as tabloid fodder alongside his megastar fianceé Kate Moss. But they're together again in The Kills, where Mosshart and Hince always milk an astounding amount of sound out of their small group. Over the years, they've endured endless comparisons to another boy-girl garage-blues band, the White Stripes, but it looks like Mosshart's time with White in the Dead Weather might've pushed the group towards a newer sound for their latest record "Blood Pressures." The album offers Beatles melodies, stomping stadium singsongs as well as the hipper-than-hip, stripped-down sound that defined them on their wave-making debut eight years ago. Monday, the group headlined Terminal 5 with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, A Place to Bury Strangers and BP Fallon.
