With their raw, organic sound, Tennessee's Kings of Leon emerged in 2003 as Southern rock for that indie-garage set, sort of a Strokes for your South. Whilst there were hints of a new direction on their third album, Mainly because Of the TIMES, its follow-up,
ONLY By the NIGHT, follows by means of having a near-reinvention in the Kings' sound.
ONLY By the NIGHT could possibly be mistaken for avant-indie cult heroes the Liars on a Southern vacation, as post-punk angularity, distorto-funk bass lines, and clattering percussion are processed by means of what sounds like the world's biggest fuzzbox. Whilst you will find old-glory moments of garagey abandon, most of these tracks sound like someone sat and carefully considered the very best way to frame them. And that's what makes the distinction among having a excellent band and making a good album.
