Blood Pressures by Kills
Blood Pressures is an album by Kills, released in 2011. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Future Starts Slow”, on 5 lists with a best position of #17.
Blood Pressures, the fourth studio album from the Kills, landed on Domino in April 2011, with Jamie Hince producing and the duo heading back to the Key Club studio in Benton Harbor, Michigan, where they had already made No Wow and Midnight Boom. It's still just the two of them at the core: American singer Alison "VV" Mosshart and English guitarist Jamie "Hotel" Hince.
Hince's guitar is all serrated edges and scuzzy hooks over clattering, stripped-down beats, and Mosshart sings like she's leaning on the bar daring you to leave. "Future Starts Slow" stomps and smolders, and it went out as a single alongside "Satellite", "Baby Says" and "The Last Goodbye". Like each of the Kills' first four albums, it made the UK Albums Chart, and Ash & Ice followed.
