They’ve shared the video for ‘Raise Me’ which was a previously unreleased demo from the Midnight Boom era. The video was directed by the Kills themselves, Jaime Hince and Allison Mosshart:

Jamie Hince explained that the album’s title comes from the nickname he and Allison Mosshart gave a drum machine they used during their early days:
“It was a Roland 880, which isn’t strictly a drum machine – it’s a sequencer, and an eight-track recorder, with its own drum machine built in, and that’s what we’d record all our beats on,” he said.
