"U R A Fever" Video Review

The American/British sleaze rock duo The Kills have resurfaced with a third long player entitled Midnight Boom. This time the production credits are handled in part by Spank Rock beat smith, Armani XXXchange and the results are swamp black and electronica tinged.

Directed by Sophie Muller (Eurhythmics, the Jesus & Mary Chain, Weezer, Blur, Gwen Stefani, Beyoncé), the clip shows the Kills looking as if they, like the song's feverish subject, "ain't born typical."

The lyrics are a series of cryptic, Beck-like non-sequiturs, and the video retains the track's darkness as well as its strangeness. The two Kills are occasionally split up in two different frames as they shout into telephones, peer out in front of film projections of themselves, play with dogs on a vintage sofa, and act goofy in front of bare, rough-edged walls.
