Kings Of Leon - Because Of The Times


After a two-year hiatus Kings of Leon are back with their third long player 'Because of the Times' released on the April 2nd.

Once again they've collaborated with producer Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne) and mentor Angelo Petraglia, who have co-produced the record together. Described previously by the band themselves as 'Creedence Clearwater Revival meets The Strokes' their latest offering sees them venture into a new direction.

In parts it's much heavier and dirtier than it's predecessor's with more rattling basslines, chugging guitars and off-beat drums. However, the familar rasping vocals still remain throughout.

The band still manage to maintain their Southern rock roots on gems such as the acoustic-led 'Fans' which recalls the Allman Brothers and 'On Call' which will be the lead single released on the 26th March.

Here's a preview of 'Because Of The Times'
