Only by the Night (stylized as >ONLY_BY_THE_NIGHT>) is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band Kings of Leon, released worldwide in September 2008. Problems playing this file?

Sorry US folks, but consider it payback for all those MTV embeds that work for us.Kings of Leon's " Use Somebody" from Only by the Night Our friends in the UK can watch video of the performances at BBC Radio 1 (who also get credit for that Khan shot). Earlier Scott had highlighted the internet-enabled bonus track “ Daniel (Lo Fi Version)” (for Khan lo fi means chillier and more sparse, not low fidelity, but it’s OK because it’s great), and we have her Live Lounge verison of that for you, too.īat For Lashes – “Use Somebody” (Live Lounge BBC Radio 1) (MP3)īat For Lashes – “Daniel (Lo Fi Version) (Live Lounge BBC Radio 1)” (MP3) As it turns out the Kings cuts are surprisingly malleable, or maybe just that Natasha is an adept sound shaper: Last week she stopped into BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge and delivered an affecting and stripped, synth and tamborine take on “Use Sombeody” that you really don’t have to even know Kings Of Leon to enjoy. Uncontroversial point: People take KoL seriously over there.
It’s one thing to like the Followills, but it’s quite another to like the Followills in a climate where little local artists like Coldplay and Radiohead pointedly praise their looks and sounds, and critically beloved sirens like Lykke Li and now Bat For Lashes try their best to stamp their spirits on the group’s tracks. No matter how much people on this side of the Atlantic adore Kings Of Leon (debatable), they should know that Europeans hear the band very differently.
