Veterans from their latest album, which has consecrated them as one of the most popular American bands in Europe, Kings of Leon do not disappoint their ever wider audience with their latest LP, in stores from 19 October. "Come around sundown," is a new beginning for the Nashville quartet that you submit in sin'ora sound only hinted at, and ranging from rock to country. The influence of bands like U2, it is clearly evident in the overall sound of the disk, especially in songs like "Pickup Truck" or the thrilling "The End", ironically placed almost as starting point. Starting a decidedly captivating listen, which is wound into a musical journey that retraces one of the must of the band has always been divided between rock and country / folk, which in this work come to light in songs like "Backdown south" into which we are catapulted into atmosphere evoked by the same title of the song, also thanks to Matthew Followill's guitar. A more considered album, musically speaking, well away from the issues and the same sound of "Only by the Night" project that took two years to this part of the three Followill brothers (Caleb, vocals, Jared, bass, Nathan, drums) and their cousin Matthew, around the world and that gave fame to the general public throughout Europe (in special measures in England). With this latest work, then the KoL, find their roots, exploring distant albeit well blended styles with their previous album, developing a new capacity for synthesis that gives the sound a considerable force.
