With her rebound "Hotel," a.k.a. Brit frontman Jamie Hince of transatlantic duo the Kills, model-cum-band-aid Kate Moss couldn't have fallen further from the Doherty tree: Hince, along with co-vocalist Alison Mosshart (a.k.a. "VV"), subscribe to a decidedly non-slapdash methodology, incubating songs in both construction and production. And here, "U.R.A. Fever," a new track from the their forthcoming LP, the follow up to 2005's No Wow excepted to drop in March 2008, exemplifies their tactic. As an on-off-on telephone dial-tone murks in the background, the pair trade gloomy vocals over a vicious heap of glossy, shadowy guitars and industrial-esque instrumentation. The chorus arrives with straightforward handclaps, thick undertones, and piercing guitar screeches -- a continual step forward into the art punk realm. Sate your post-holiday hunger on a taste of the Kills' yet-to-be detailed album, and hang tight over the winter, for the arrival of the new LP in spring 2008 will surely remedy fans' fervent 'fever'!
