Chances are you either hate Kings Of Leon, or you were born in the UK. Wherever you're from, the Followill clan clearly are good enough in the studio to capture the imagination of discerning lovelies like Lykke Li and Natasha Khan; it's the making a video that isn't a nightmare factory that's been the hard part. At the least, the clip for "Notion" shouldn't enrage anybody. And at most, its mix of pathos and gratuitous explosions will appeal to people who swear by the effect (and effects) of summertime Jerry Bruckheimer movies. Which makes sense for a band trying to hone in on the American demographic most likely to buy their records.
Only By The Night is out.
