Kings Of Leon record “fun” album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 28 May 2010
Having ended their touring commitments promoting their 2008 album, ‘Only By The Night’, last year in a bit of a grump, it seems Kings Of Leon have subsequently perked up a bit. In fact, drummer Nathan Followill says their new record is more fun than previous efforts.
Speaking to Billboard, he said: “I’ll be damned if we didn’t go in there and make a fun record! It’s got songs that are beachy and songs that are a little more like our ‘Youth’ and ‘Young Manhood’ days.We’re super excited. Everything, we feel, fits perfectly for this project. It’ll be interesting to see how well received it is”.
Asked if they would be previewing any new material at upcoming live dates, he said: “Any time you’re coming into a tour after a new record, especially one that’s not even out yet, it’s pretty tough to not play the whole thing. We might force the label to release [the album] earlier than they want to”.
