Kings of Leon begin work on new album

Following the world-wide cross over success of their last album, 2008's Only By The Night Kings of Leon have revealed that they are well into the recording of their fifth studio album.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 27 May 2010

The band have headed North Eastwards to New York to record the album, which they say contains songs that are 'beach-y', as well as tracks more in line with the sound of their debut Youth and Young Manhood.

They will be premiering some of their new songs when they headline Bonnaroo as well as at other festivals in the States, but Irish fans will more than likely have to wait til the end of the year, when it's expected the album will be ready for release.

Keeping up this year’s trend for credible big name acts releasing frankly poor follow up albums, the Kings were found wanting badly on Because Of The Times. ‘Fans’ was one of the few moments when they got it right, a light footed tune that sees them break out of their Southern Strokes straightjacket. Shame there wasn’t more where this came from.

2007-07-23

After helping the sodden Oxegen masses momentarily forget their troubles last weekend, Kings Of Leon are set to return to Dublin.
