The Kills reveal swampy, stomping rock track "Heart Of A Dog"

18 April 2016, 15:38 | Written by Laurence Day

The Kills have shared "Heart Of A Dog", their latest preview of upcoming record Ash & Ice, and announced some new UK shows.

"Heart Of A Dog" is a swaggering Southern beast with flecks of The White Stripes, parping basslines and clicking drum machines. It follows the synth rock lead single "Doing It To Death".

The new UK dates will take place in September and October following a busy summer festivalling, and include a headline slot at London's Roundhouse.

Ash & Ice is out 3 June on Domino. It follows 2011's Blood Pressures.

Watch the Sophie Muller-directed video for "Heart Of A Dog" below.
