Summary: This duo subtly and organically fuses pop, glam, blues, art-punk, and hip-hop in a manner that flits between light and dark, funny and morbid, experimental and cute. The result is a short, sharp twelve track album of sensual, fresh, and atmospheric songs. A reminder that no one on earth makes rock 'n' roll quite like The Kills. Praise for "Midnight Boom"... Midnight Boom finishes with “Goodnight Bad Morning”, a song so full of early-morning melancholy it rivals even the Velvet Underground’s “Sunday Morning” for sheer crow-black blues. Over a rocking-chair beat and soft-strum of acoustic guitar Mosshart and Hince whisper “....See it in everyone / Like a lost idea under lightbulb sun / Your eyes ready for take-off melt in your head / What a beautiful state we’re in.” It is a song that could have been the highlight on any Mazzy Star or Leonard Cohen album but it closes the Kills most remarkable record to date, staying with you long after it ends, Hince’s slow humming still resonating in your senses, the cold shiver still working it’s way down your spine. - Popmatters.com The Kills sound and feel like no other band – nocturnal, way-out, untouchable – Mojo **** They have evolved a great deal since their lean, mean early days: their sound is less ragged and raw, but their energy just as feral. From the whiplash time signatures of Alphabet Pony to the PJ Harvey - meets-Patti Smith thrashings of Hook and Line to the pensive serenity of Black Balloon. the songs are still driven by an itchy obsessiveness and feverish fits of guitar, but they're more crafted, and more fun. -Nylon http://www.thekills.tv
