You might think the Kills have a lot to get excited about these days ? hit TV shows bombarding them with royalty cheques, guitarist Jamie Hince preparing to marry the world's most famous supermodel ? but you wouldn't know it from their latest album. With one or two exceptions, on Blood Pressures they stick to their tried-and-tested blues-rock formula. That need not be a slur. Opener "Future Starts Slow" makes a decent case for sludgy guitars, sultry vocals and straightforward song structure. The moments of departure, such as Piaf-referencing "The Last Goodbye", are curiously the least successful. Maybe playing it safe in times of excitement is the Kills' best bet.
