The Killers
The Killers will release a new single from their #1 album, Day & Age, on February 9th. Spaceman, the follow up to the album’s massive first single, Human, gets its release ahead of the band’s biggest UK arena tour to date, a tour that includes two nights at London’s 02 Arena.
Day & Age is The Killers’ third album. The follow-up to 2006’s Sam’s Town and 2004’s Hot Fuss, it is filled with the soaring vocals, epic choruses and the remarkable songwriting that has won The Killers legions of fans, radio & chart hits and multiple awards worldwide.
From the synth atmospherics of “Human†to the powerful, chunky guitars and horn swells of “Losing Touch†and the dazzling anthemic “Spaceman,†the songs on Day & Age are endlessly impressive. Never ones to stagnate their sound, the album also contains some of The Killers’ most adventurous material – “Goodnight, Travel Well†is a seven-minute long epic, while “I Can’t Stay†mixes one of Flowers’ most memorable choruses with shimmering, hazy tropicalia. Yet, for all the musical terrain they cover, the end result remains the same: it sounds like The Killers and it sounds spectacular.
