When You See Yourself by Kings of Leon

When You See Yourself, the eighth studio album from Kings of Leon, landed on RCA Records on March 5, 2021, ending the longest wait between records in the band's career: more than four years had passed since Walls in 2016. The Followills, brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared plus their cousin Matthew, put Markus Dravs in the producer's chair, and he frames them in a wide, unhurried glow that sits a long way from the sweaty Southern garage rock of their Tennessee beginnings.
"The Bandit" and "100,000 People" went out on the same January day as the first taste, and "Time in Disguise" keeps the same patient, late-night mood going. It's a grown-up alternative rock record, more about atmosphere than swagger. It also turned out to be their farewell to RCA: by 2023 the band had gone independent, and Can We Please Have Fun followed in 2024.
