More Info:
The album is an offbeat, sexy, highly aggressive collection'"deceptively minimalist, groovy and never less than fascinating. "Ura Fever" is all over the place, a bass-driven Leonard Cohen crabwalk that evolves into hand-clapped, tag-team vocal delirium.Reviews:
Sporting spiffy pink-rimmed sunglasses in promo photos, Kills frontlady Allison Mosshart looks an awful lot like Meg White. Other than the fact that these Londonites are, also, a duo, that's where the White Stripes comparisons begin and end. Their enjoyably rambling bio loosely likens them to the type of band that "comes along but once in a decade, if you're lucky' Pixies, Stone Roses, [My Bloody] Valentine, Dream Syndicate'" which is an accurate enough compendium of influences. Mosshart and co-conspirator Jamie Hince tried to lower the Boom in Los Angeles, but couldn't take the constant distractions and wound up knocking it off in boring old Michigan. Conversely, the album is an offbeat, sexy, highly aggressive collection'"deceptively minimalist, groovy and never less than fascinating. "Ura Fever" is all over the place, a bass-driven Leonard Cohen crabwalk that evolves into hand-clapped, tag-team vocal delirium.
