The Kills-“Black Balloon” Video

Cursory observations from The Kills’ new video:

a) Is it just me or has Allison Mosshart become a rich man’s Meg White?

b) Hotel is becoming more Doherty-esque by the day. Say what you want about Kate Moss, at least she has a type.

c) Marlboro Menthols? Really? If you’re treading down the path of mint-laced refreshment, the wise move is to either keep it grizzly and smoke Newports, or opt for the voice-box, old lady, Benson & Hedges route. The monocle-sporting, Nat Sherman bent is also PotW approved.

The Black Balloon EP comes out next month and I’m amped for the duo’s Coachella date. There’s also an international tour this spring–dates below the jump.
