The Killers - Hot Fuss

The Killers - Hot Fuss

The Killers match postpunk guitars with a synthesizer overlay that recalls 80s New Wave without burying their sound in nostalgia. On their debut, Hot Fuss, frontman Brandon Flowers plumbs his imagination for tales of murdered lovers ('Jenny Was a Friend of Mine,' 'Midnight Show'), voyeurism ('Mr. Brightside'), and sexual confusion (the single 'Somebody Told Me'). On Standard vinyl.
