Description:

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" debuting worldwide September 22nd, while the digital single will be released September 30th. The new album hits stores November 25th - two days before Thanksgiving.

DAY & AGE was produced by Stuart Price, a key figure in electronic music (Les Rhythmes Digitales) who previously worked with The Killers on "Don't Shoot Me Santa," their 2007 Christmas single; as well as music on their 2007 compilation, Sawdust. Over the past five years, Price has worked as a producer, mixer, programmer, and keyboardist, including The Killers' "Mr Brightside" remix which was Grammy Nominated.

The Killers - Brandon Flowers on vocals and keyboards, guitarist David Keuning, bassist Mark Stoermer, and drummer Ronnie Vannucci - found time to complete their new album while also wrapping up their biggest summer rock festival season in the U.S. and abroad. Historic headlining gigs at England's prestigious Leeds and Reading fests coincided with an appearance on the cover of NME's August 8th issue. Earlier in 2008, the Killers took home top honors for Best Band of the Year and Best Track of the Year ("Tranquilize") at the annual NME Awards USA gala, at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on April 23rd.

DAY & AGE comes one year after the release of Sawdust (November 2007), 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 York's Hell's 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 Corbijn's biopic of Ian Curtis), and "Tranquilize".

The Killers' RIAA platinum second album Sam's Town (October 2006) debuted at #2 and spun off two hit singles: the #1 Modern Rock "When You Were Young," nominated for Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Short Form Music Video; and "Read My Mind," the band's first #1 at Triple-A. Their worldwide 5 million-selling debut Hot Fuss (June 2004) was the longest-running rock album inside the top 50 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for all of 2005, logging 94 weeks on the chart - 53 of those inside the Top 50. The album spun off four solid hit singles - the Grammy-nominated anthem, "Somebody Told Me," the VMA-winning (and Grammy-nominated) "Mr. Brightside," the Modern rock hit "Smile Like You Mean It," and the Grammy-nominated "All These Things That I've Done."

5Killer!  Nov 22, 2009
The Killers are, in a word, brilliant! Its guitar-driven pop infused with keyboards...ever so British-esque. And "Day & Age," the band's third studio album, is a delight to behold. God bless Brandon Flowers and Co. Need I say more?

4Killin' it  Nov 20, 2009
When I found out the Killers were going to be on Saturday Night Live for the third time, I looked at them and then I decided that drummer Ronnie Vannucci, Jr. must be going through some kind of identity crisis because he has looked completely different every time (although he HAS shaved off the Jason Lee moustache -- actually, NOW he cut his hair but he's growing the moustache back). Anyway, the critic's favorite new wave revivalists came back a few years ago with Sawdust, a collection of b-sides and previously unreleased tracks. I didn't hear that one, but I did get my hands on the band's next proper studio album, Day & Age.

This Stuart Price-produced album doesn't have a lot of songs on it but there are still a lot of great tracks. Highlights include "I Can't Stay", "Neon Tiger" (the song that inspired the album's title) and "Losing Touch". But my favorite song is definitely the first single, "Human" -- and for those that still don't know, Brandon said "are we dancer", not "dancers". Sure, it isn't grammatically correct, but why is that so big an issue in a world where the word "ain't" is a standard in pop music?

That actually leads me to another point. Although the Killers' lyrics have never really made a WHOLE lot of sense, I actually think they excel more when they DON'T try to tell stories -- case in point, I just couldn't get into "Spaceman". Oh, well; Day & Age is much better than Sam's Town and not QUITE as good as Hot Fuss, but it's still a great album. Pick it up if you haven't already.

4Maybe Just For Big Fans  Oct 29, 2009
I REALLY enjoy this album, it is on my blackberry and take it everywhere. The best song is Dustland Fairytale. The emotion of the song comes out full force after you have seen the video. Granted the acting is a bit, well "music video" acting, but the story is powerful. To have those images run through your mind as this non traditional rock ballad roars is an experience. Human Dancer was the first track released in the states and is a fine song, along with spaceman. Those three tracks caught my ear immediately, the rest of the album is average at best, but since I am a fan of the Killers, I enjoy it more than I probably should.

5The Best Album of 2008  Oct 20, 2009
I bought Day & Age when it first came out last year. With this album, The Killers have really taken it to the next level. They are excellent as song writers and as musicians. Day & Age is an incredible album! It takes the band in a new direction while still maintaining elements from Hot Fuss and Sam's Town. It's amazing to see how they have come as a band in only 5 years.
