Only By The Night
Kings Of Leon
The Followill brothers traded their gritty beginnings for an atmospheric intensity meant for large venues. Recorded during a period of change, the songs prioritize soaring guitars and the distinctive, gravelly delivery of Caleb Followill.
These tracks balance intimacy with a wide, cinematic scope. The work captures the moody energy of the late 2000s indie scene by shifting into a polished, atmospheric register that reached a global audience.
