What the label says:

The eagerly anticipated ‘Midnight Boom’ sees The Kills - rock’s most enigmatic duo -  offering their most stunning album yet.
Their first album, ‘Keep On Your Mean Side’, won widespread critical acclaim, and gained them their ever passionate and devoted cool cult following.   When the band returned in 2005 with ‘No Wow’, they returned with an edgier, sharper sound that pushed rock ‘n’ roll boundaries, whilst maintaining their strong ties to the art world.
The production on new album ‘Midnight Bloom’, featuring beats and studio smarts from Spank Rock’s producer Alex Epton aka Armani XXXchange, combined with Alison’s confidently teasing vocals, creates a truly forward thinking, fresh new sound for the band.
Taking inspiration from Pizza Pizza Daddio, a Sixties documentary about kids in inner-city schools in the USA, The Kills’ Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart started building rhythms influenced by the children’s dark playground songs, on an old school hand-punched MPC-60 hip hop drum sequencer. The results are shown in some of the hypnotic original tracks on the album, like ‘Cheap And Cheerful’.
Already radio, TV and press response has been incredible, with support from Radio 1, 6 Music and XFM, as well as Sound, The Album Chart Show and Culture Show on the TV front.  Available on CD with special 28 page booklet, heavyweight vinyl LP

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
