The Killers by Olivia Bee
The Killers were on late night US television at the end of last week as their new album Imploding The Mirage finally got its release.
Brandon Flowers, Ronnie Vannucci et al aired Blowback on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, pushing an album on which, ‘the group’s best and most reliable parts have been left untouched’, according to Live4ever’s review:
“Flowers’ voice for instance – always seemingly a key change away from disaster – is still trimmed to reach you in row XX with the kind of sincerity that outshone his awkwardness with being a star. On Blowback it’s in top gear, singing words about a woman living from Greyhound to Greyhound, perhaps on the lam from Sam’s Town, the quasi-mythical spot in which the band had made so much emotional investment before they too kissed it goodbye.”
