God Games

God Games is the sixth studio album by English-American indie rock duo the Kills, released on October 27, 2023 through Domino.

[2] The Independent described the music as "Siouxsie Sioux and a hex" with "corroded dub, voodoo funk, insidious gospel, junk shop pop and even a bit of flamenco calypso".

[4] Hal Horowitz of American Songwriter wrote that the duo "prove that the time off hasn't dulled their artistic edge" and remarked that the absence of guitar work on some tracks "delineates how this disc has shifted away from the twosome's previous work", which "makes for an intense, generally unrelenting forty-minute project; one that pushes The Kills into fresh musical territory".

's Alan Ranta opined that "while the band has always been a rock-first concern, the core of God Games is in its mature, layered and emotive downtempo pop balladry".

[7] Cheri Amour of The Arts Desk found that Epworth has "trace[d] them back to that darker strain of rolling rock", describing it as "a rejoiceful return".
