"Closer" - Kings of Leon
Kings of Leon are a band that slowly grew on me over the course of their last few albums. I know Frants didn't enjoy seeing them open for U2 (I'm still convinced it was the way the sound was set-up for them...), but when Because of the Times came out and I heard "On Call" and "Knocked Up", I was hooked. (Both are phenomenal late night driving songs, as well.)
The new album came out this week and I punched it up on my iPod this morning. "Closer" is the first track, and it did me right as I walked out of my apartment this morning and into the dreary rain. With water splashing under my hood, the tricksy, driving beat kept me moving at a brisk pace. Moving closer, ever closer, to work.
