Mar 01, 2016 By Christopher Roberts The Kills

The Kills (Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince) have announced a new album and shared a video for its first single. Ash & Ice is due out June 3 via Domino. Below is the video for “Doing It to Death,” followed by the album’s tracklist and the duo’s tour dates.

Hince co-produced the album with John O’Mahony and Tom Elmhirst, and Tchad Blake mixed Ash & Ice. The album was recorded in a rented house in Los Angeles and at the Electric Lady Studios in New York City. Ash & Ice is the follow-up to 2011’s Blood Pressures. The long gap between albums was partly due to Hince’s five hand surgeries. He ended up with a permanently damaged finger, meaning that he had to relearn how to play guitar.

Ash & Ice Tracklist:

1. Doing It to Death
2. Heart of a Dog
3. Hard Habit to Break
4. Bitter Fruit
5. Days of Why and How
6. Let It Drop
7. Hum For Your Buzz
8. Siberian Nights
9. That Love
10. Impossible Tracks
11. Black Tar
12. Echo Home
13. Whirling Eye
