Ash & Ice

The Kills

Thirteen tracks of mechanical blues and urban friction. A more polished, expansive take on their signature skeletal rock, trading raw noise for deep-groove tension.

May 3, 2016 · Domino

A restless, late-night tension that balances mechanical coldness with human warmth.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, mechanical thud of the drum machine opening Doing It to Death which sets the album's rhythmic pulse.
The raw, gospel-inflected vulnerability of Hum for Your Buzz where the guitar takes a backseat to the vocal grit.
The icy, cinematic synth-bass line that drives Siberian Nights into a dark, predatory groove.
