Kings of Leon
Comment:
Kings of Leon may have stormed up from the South as the next generation of back-to-basics rock ’n’ roll heroes on the appropriately titled [i]Youth and Young Manhood[/i], but like so many great young bands, they grew up fast and in public, expanding their sound right in front of our ears. By the time they reached 2009’s game-changing [i]Only By the Night[/i], they were turning out sonic surprises like “Revelry,” where trash-can trip-hop beats tumble under a country-tinged power ballad, and “I Want You,” a sexy, syncopated strut that maximizes a minimalist frame in which cowbell practically plays the lead and guitar is almost an afterthought. Lately, the Kings have even revisited — and revised — their youthful abandon, with a hip-shaking Mark Ronson remix of their early garage stomper “Pistol of Fire.”
