-Descripcion Original:

Four years after the release of their landmark debut in 2004, MTV VMA Award winning, Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum Island Records group The Killers have completed their fourth album - and first new studio album in two years - DAY & AGE, featuring the new single, Human. DAY & AGE was produced by Stuart Price, a key figure in electronic music (Les Rhythms Digitales) who previously worked with The Killers on Dont Shoot Me Santa, their 2007 Christmas single; as well as music on their 2007 compilation, Sawdust. DAY & AGE comes one year after the release of Sawdust and is a 17-song collection of previously unreleased session tracks, B-sides, rarities and one-offs. The album was assembled at a recording studio in New Yorks Hells Kitchen, where The Killers worked with Rock And Roll Hall of Famer Lou Reed two recordings. Two singles and videos were issued: Shadowplay (from the motion picture soundtrack of Control, Anton Corbijns biopic of Ian Curtis), and Tranquilize. Artista biografía Inspiration has never eluded Las Vegas The Killers, and its a damn good thing it hasnt, because their newest record, their third studio album entitled Day & Age, is full of their finest songs to date. I think about moments when we were coming up with When You Were Young, or, in this case, Spaceman, Flowers says. If wed decided at that moment, Lets go to the park, they might not have happened. Its scary. It almost makes me not want to stop because I could be missing out on these wonderful songs. Theyre out there for the taking--youve just got to grab them. Together with bassist Mark Stoermer, guitarist Dave Keuning, and drummer Ronnie Vannucci, Flowers helped to mold the album into 10 songs that work best together as a whole, each individually describing an evolution of the Las Vegas bands sound. Were always pushing ourselves, says Stoermer, and theres a lot of diversity here--from anthemic rock to dance songs. Flowers adds: We felt like Sams Town was a continuation of Hot Fuss, and we feel like this is a continuation of Sams Town. But at the same time, Day and Age is totally different from both of them, while still sounding like us. Its kind of looking at Sams Town from Mars. Those familiar with the bands oeuvre will recognize their signature in the synth-heavy Human, four minutes of sweeping, epic rock, on which Flowers sings: My sign is vital/ My hands are cold/ And Im on knees, looking for the answer/ Are we human, or are we dancer? He says the lyrics were inspired by a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson about how America was raising a generation of dancers. But the song also had some help from album producer Stuart Price (aka Jacques LuCont), known for his work with Madonna and Missy Elliot, and whod previously remixed Mr. Brightside. He was the icing on the cake, says Stoermer. We had just put Human together, and we wound up shooting over to his house after dinner [in London], Flowers recalls of his first time in the studio with Price. A few hours later, we had something very close to what you hear now. I was on cloud nine. He continues: When we walked into his flat, the first thing I saw was picture of the cover of The Man Who Sold the World, and further down the stairs there was a picture of Eno in his Roxy Music days. I just kind of felt that wed found our man. That hed find comfort in the signifiers of those artists shouldnt come as a surprise: The bands made no secret of their admiration for both art-rock and stadium giants (collaborating with the likes of Lou Reed, who guested on Tranquilize, a single from Sawdust, 2007s collection of B-sides, rarities, and new songs). Formed in Las Vegas in 2002, the band belongs to the lineage of high-energy rock bands that manage to be both commercially successful and critically acclaimed (both of their studio albums have received endless column inches bursting with praise), and its almost mind-blowing to consider that without the classifieds section of a local paper, they might have never been. Flowers first met guitarist Keuning while perusing said classifieds for fellow musicians; when Daves ad mentioned The Beatles, Oasis and more, Flowers knew he was on the right track. They claimed the name The Killers (taken from the bass drum of a fictional band in a New Order video), and eventually recruited Stoermer and Vannucci into the fold, all of them agreeing that there seemed to be an intangible something to the music they were making, as well as the response they were generating from people who saw them play. And as these performances became bigger and bigger, and praise for the band began to spread rapidly, A&R men came from the UK and the US to see them, eventually leading them to sign with Island Records in America. Their debut, Hot Fuss, catapulted them onto the global stage upon its 2004 release, selling millions of copies around the world. The band toured for two years straight behind Hot Fuss, playing more than four-hundred shows, and eventually returned to Vegas to begin to work on the follow-up album with legendary producers Alan Moulder and Flood. The result, a love letter of sorts to their hometown entitled Sams Town, was released in 2006 and spent forty-two weeks on the Billboard Top 200. In between all of this, the band managed to fit in two appearances on Saturday Night live, in addition to performances on The Tonight Show, The Late Show with David Letterman and more. One might think this would produce a generous amount of pressure as the band began to work on their newest collection of songs, but this was not the case. Were confident together, comfortable with the way we work as a live band, Stoermer says. So when we were writing this record, there was less anxiety, not that were resting on our laurels. This comfort in their work together is apparent on Day & Age. The album sees The Killers experimenting with different instruments: I Cant Stay has a tropical sound--thank the saxophone and steel drums--and, as the singer says, could be the most perfect pop song weve ever written. Losing Touch, meanwhile, is a gorgeous uptempo track with bright horns and grim lyrics (impending doom, it must be true/ Im losing touch) that lend it an ominous vibe. Spaceman, an unabashedly arena-sized glam-rock number whose associative lyrics reference, among other themes, alien abduction. (Weve been playing it between Read My Mind and Mr. Brightside, and it feels like its been there forever, Flowers says.) More than anything, The Killers are excited for their fans to hear what theyve been creating, though, says Stoermer, Were always a little nervous about whether people are going to like it. The people have in the past. Besides the sales figures--including moving 4.4 million units of Sams Town abroad--the band has received seven nods from the Grammys, and won a variety of MTV, BRIT, and NME awards. Theyve headlined some of the biggest festivals in the UK and Europe, including Glastonbury, the Reading and Leeds Festival and Pukkelpop, and have sold out prestigious venues such as Madison Square Garden in America. The attention has, at times, made it difficult for them to keep their composure, but this time out the band is trying to remain more level-headed. We got thrown up to the position very quickly that were in now --the test is to retain it, says Flowers. I want us to be a positive force. People think that were overconfident and cocky, but it comes from excitement. Its not Im better than you, its that I cant wait till you hear this song because I know what it does to me physically. Im able to listen to our songs and not think this is us playing, Im able to allow the music to affect me and I know if its good or not. Sometimes people think Im running my mouth, when Im truly excited.
