The writing and making of “When You See Yourself” found the band members perhaps more in sync than ever. The band, which includes three Followill brothers Caleb, Jared (bass/keyboards) and Nathan (drums) and their cousin, Matthew Followill (lead guitar/keyboards), appears to have gone into the pandemic and come out on the other end in a decidedly good place. So there was some good to go along with the bad.” We were like I kind of like putting in all of the hard work of making an album, then like pausing and sitting back for a second instead of diving straight into it (touring) and wearing ourselves out. “When it did all stop and we started to realize that that wasn’t going to be the case, it actually in a weird way, was educational in a good way for us. So we were all geared up for that,” Kings of Leon singer Caleb Followill observed in a mid-July phone interview. “We were so used to the, after you finish the record, you just slowly start your press and then play little shows and then it’s the world tour. But then the pandemic hit, and the album release was put on hold and tours were canceled. But in reality, Kings of Leon had the album finished in 2019 and were ready to begin the touring cycle behind “When You See Yourself” with some special shows in spring of 2020. That may seem like a long gap between albums. Five years passed between Kings of Leon’s previous album, “Walls,” and the band’s recently released album, “When You See Yourself.”
