The Kills paint aural dreamscapes that make you travel to lands you somehow know, but have never thought of. Their songs lead listeners on an emotional path through the fire-and-water romance of true thought—and the gorgeously sullen duet “Echo Home” is no finer example. Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince are like a modern-day Nancy and Lee (Sinatra and Hazlewood) tearing around Mulholland in a jet black Challenger, headlights flickering to a new beat.
This week’s Listen is curated by Myles Hendrik for Arlo Skye.
