The new album by the Kings of Leon- ‘Only By The Night’ – the band’s fourth studio album – is due out on September 23rd.
The Album was recorded at Nashville’s Blackbird Studios. The band co-produced the album with Angelo Petraglia and Jacquire King.
In a recent interview with XFM, the band had this to say about the albums political overtones:
“The older you get the more you realize that you have to take a stand and have to believe in something and I think we’re on the right path. I just think we’re a little more political at this point.”
“For a while it was the cool thing for American bands to do – diss the governnement and the regime – and a lot of people revived their careers that way.”
“We let that pass over and now we can actually write or sing about something if we have a belief about it and we’re doing it on our terms and not because its the cool thing to do. Truth is Bush is still in their, the war is still going on.”
…but we’ll never get too far into that stuff becuase we don’t consider ourselves celebrities so who cares what we think?”
