Familiar rock sounds and a modern pop influence. Songs that will definitely remind you of their old songs. The album was recorded at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, where the three brothers and their cousin started the band in the first place.

Kings of Leon: When You See Yourself. Sony. Available as download, CD, vinyl or stream:
