The Kills share cover of Billie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever" and announce new EP, Happier Girls Sessions

“It’s all Sirius XM’s fault,” says Alison Mosshart on the Billie Eilish cover. “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!”

Recorded at Grammy-winning producer Paul Epworth’s Church Studios in London with engineer Riley McIntyre, the EP comes via physical and digital formats: a 7” vinyl features a soulful cover of Billie Eilish’s 2021 smash hit single "Happier Than Ever" on the A-side and a new non-electric version of "My Girls My Girls", the standout ballad from the band’s dynamic 2023 Epworth-produced LP God Games, on the flip.

The digital EP will add non-electric versions of three more God Games tracks – "103", "New York" and "Better Days".
