Black Skies in Broad Daylight

Black Skies in Broad Daylight is the first full-length album by American punk rock band Living Things. It was released by DreamWorks Records on May 3, 2004, in the UK, and on August 17, 2004, in the US. It was produced by Steve Albini. CMJ described the voice of the band's lead singer, Lillian Berlin, as a "snarling Iggy-inspired baritone" and the album's songs as "scathing socio-political commentaries."
