The Kills have announced their ‘Happier Girls Sessions’ EP, featuring a Billie Eilish cover

The Kills have announced a enw EP, ‘Happier Girls Sessions’.

The release – which features non-electric versions of tracks from their 2023 album ‘God Games’ and a cover of Billie Eilish’s ‘Happier Than Ever’ – is out this Friday, 20th September via Domino.

Alison Mosshart of The Kills explains the origin of their ‘Happier Than Ever’ cover: “It’s all Sirius XM’s fault. We were asked to do an acoustic session with them last year and they’d asked for a cover as part of the session. I’d always really dug ‘Happier Than Ever’ and found myself singing it around the house all the time. It seemed like a good choice, since I loved it and loved singing it.

“After that radio session hit the airwaves, Laurence Bell from Domino reached out to us enamoured with our acoustic version of the song and asked us to do an electric recording. Here we were in London, recording a non-electric EP and what’s the first song on it? An electric cover of the acoustic cover we did… and the more electricity the better. Thank you Billie for writing such a brilliant song!”
