Baby Says

The Kills make songs that sit underneath your skin without asking permission. ’Baby Says’ is mostly atmosphere—Mosshart’s voice flat and certain, like she’s stating something you don’t want to hear. The kind of track that sounds best at night when you’re thinking about someone or loss or the distance between people who should be close. There’s nothing extra in it, no attempt to convince you of anything. Just the sound of someone who knows what they mean and doesn’t care if you like it. That’s the whole band, really.
