New Details On Upcoming Kings Of Leon Album

Kings Of Leon recently told Spin what fans can expect on their upcoming album.

“[It was the] first time we ever recorded in New York City and we thought we’d come out with a darker record because we’d done all our records in either Nashville or Los Angeles where it’s a little more chilled out,” Followill says. “[But] I’ll be damned if we didn’t go in there and make a fun record! It’s got songs that are beach-y and songs that are a little more like our Youth & Young Manhood days. We’re super excited. It will be interesting to see how well received it is,” he added.
