Echoes

Radioactive.

It's been a long time coming. I was so worried that the Kings were losing themselves and this record was the turning point for me. But, this song is bloody good. And I'm thrilled!
Returning to the music is what KOL needed to do and thankfully they have. After 'Only By The Night' and the massive success of it, the Followills got a bit too big for their own brand leather boots.

A slow drawl builds up to a big chorus backed by a choir. It's celebratory of their past and in that helps shape their future. A wonderful little ditty. And here is it live... (see below)



There is one issue though...what the hell is up with the official video? At first I thought it was a Live Aid type video and Bono was going to pop up, preaching. It makes a bit of a mockery of the song. Really cringy. I mean come on lads, you're cooler than that. Let's not lose it.
