"Super Soaker" comes off Mechanical Bull, Kings of Leon's 2013 album, and on paper it's an all-hands affair: Caleb, Jared, Matthew and Nathan Followill share the writing credit, and all four sing on it. Angelo Petraglia produced and slipped in some Wurlitzer electric piano, while James Brown recorded and mixed.
Look closer at the credits and there's more going on than the band's big guitars. Matthew adds glockenspiel and vibraphone next to his guitar, Caleb doubles on mandolin, Jared splits his time between bass and piano, and Nathan pounds the kit and the percussion. Plenty of shimmer tucked under the roar.
