Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Killers might hail from one of the USA's most quintessentially American cities (Las Vegas), but their debut album Hot Fuss displays an Anglophilic streak that is an ocean wide. Steeped in the back-catalogue of the Smiths and Pulp, with broad 80s synth sweeps cloaking each tale of fraught metrosexual romance, this band clearly rate the swoon over the swagger. Still, this is almost entirely an upbeat record, one made for the packed club than the smoky VIP room; in particular "On Top", "Somebody Told Me" and "Mr Brightside" are tremendous examples of breathless indie-pop that gallop along like a lovestuck heartbeat with frontman Brandon Flowers gasping for breath on the claustrophobic disco floor. This is, inarguably, what the Killers do best. Even when they deviate from form they’ve got a few neat ideas--see the gospel choir that echoes back Flowers' repeated exclamation "I've got soul/ But I'm not a soldier" on "All These Things I've Done", or the self-consciously epic "Indie Rock'n'Roll", delivered by the Killers with all the fireworks and gusto of a curtain-closing Broadway showtune. --Louis Pattison
Description
In comparison to most UK acts being influenced by American counterparts, The Killers most evoke (and claim influence by) UK acts such as Oasis, The Jam, Talking Heads, The Smiths and David Bowie. The Las Vegas quartet add an American quirkto these influences to create a debut album filled with keyboard led indie/pop/rock songs. The album also contains a collaboration with the 'Sweet Inspirations' choir, better known for their work with Elvis and Hendrix.
