Brandon Flowers is back with another of those 'curious' jackets with feathers on the shoulders and another song to sing.
The latest Killers single is called Spaceman, and is very much in the same synth-heavy vein as Human was, but is a little more conventional. It's still really sonically dense, as it packs in a pulsating verse and chorus, the aforementioned synths and some distorted guitar to glue the whole thing together.
And like Human, I think Spaceman will take a little bit of getting used to, but it will grow on you. Sure, there'll be a faction of people who'll hate this. Their demographic profile is: early Killers fans who hate everything they've done since Hot Fuss.
Personally, I love this new direction The Killers have taken. It's bold and unique within our pop charts. As someone wrote on MySpace recently - "Brandon Flowers is making me rethink my lifelong aversion to the Pet Shop Boys."
