Killers

The Killers are an alternative rock band. They have created a fantastic debut album called: Hot Fuss. Lovely, melodic, rock music. The bass is simply outstanding, not too technical or showing off but simple, straight forward and showing a drive and presence that gives the exact right push where it fits perfectly in the melody or drives up the speed. I had to get used to the keyboards. The sound and structures were, let's say, from time to time a tad too alternative for me. After a few times listening, it was all fine and dandy, of course and you start even to appreciate the ambiances created. The vocals (and again that surprised me) are almost the voices you expect to find in pop music and for me that is what makes this band so great. It's a combination of sounds, structures and ways of playing with familiar instruments used in a very original way. Listen to Hot Fuss and enjoy...
