Just a couple of thoughts on two new singles by The Killers, a band I was ready to write off as stale and done.
Human- A superb Killers track. This brings to mind the band at its Mr. Brightside best. The slow/fast alternating rhythms are standard formula but Brandon Flowers seems to have found a new vocal range that really propels the track.
Spaceman- The second single off the new album Day and Age takes the formula and builds it up to a new high. It’s an anthem that deserves to play in front a crowd of 50,000 in Leeds or Bonnaroo. The Killers were beginning to come off as a self-mockery after Sam’s Town but if this is an indication of where this band is going then I want to go along for the ride.
