Volume without borders: With her wonderful album "Day & Age" emphasize The Killers from the United States it enigmatic image. A meeting with the singer Brandon Flowers
For the Killers nothing really fits together. The four band members look so different from when they played in different formations. Their singer Brandon Flowers is a strictly devout Mormon, with a pronounced tendency to Flamboyance. He wants the Killers to the greatest rock band in the world, where it meets two of the most seductive side of the rock business - unlimited access to drugs, sex with lots of strange people - of course despised.
When the Killers her 2004 debut "Hot Fuss" published, even Britons held for a British band. Indeed, but the Killers from Las Vegas. By the second album "Sam's Town" the band wanted to correct the impression and her home town monument put a musical. Brandon Flowers talked about "the American culture to embrace", and was even a cute cowboy mustache grow. What happened in America but nobody understood what Flowers do not understand. "The thought that I had dressed myself," he says and looks vielsagend into the room.
Whether the new Killers' factory 'Day & Age "to more understanding will take remains to be seen. In the chorus of the first release "human", certainly one of the best singles of the year, Flowers is unusual in any case the question "Are we or are we humane dancers?" (example: "Are we humans or are we dancers?"). With the word dancer surprisingly connotes a negative, because it relates to the American writer Hunter S. Thompson relates. From the quote "We're raising a generation of dancers" survived, with whom he discussed his displeasure wanted to express that America is a generation of sympathizers großzieht. Who does not know Thompson's quote will not understand that Brandon Flowers appears to have the same concern umtreibt. In Fanforen there are endless discussions about the possible meaning of the song. For a better understanding of course it would have helped if the Killers the piece does not even dance beat with a background would have.
From the fans loved hot and with approximately twelve million albums also extremely successful, the Killers are a band of critics to despair. They are considered artificial, they change with each album their style, they only sound like an English band, then as an English band, as an American band wants to sound. From "Day & Age" is itself no longer claim. The Killers have all assignments successfully resolved, each of the ten title stands for itself. On the album remind them one after another to Roxy Music, the Pet Shop Boys, Wham!, Duran Duran, Meat Loaf, chic!, U2, The Cure - it is like the radio observations.
They brass, funk guitars, strings, piano, vocoder, rattles, African choral chants, bongos, and even Steel drums are used. Why? "We did this to be a good idea," says Flowers. "It has simply adapted." Because ultimately fits with the Killers but everything. As if the contradictions in the maelstrom of dialectics would repeal. Your identity is to have no identity. They make absolutely no sense, they are a bit like real life.
All the Flowers does not seem to care. He rests in itself, shows no Allüren says not much, and smiles. Particularly, he is assisted by the British magazine "GQ" to bestangezogenen man has been elected. In videos and on stage like he is this season in a black Gucci jacket, the renowned British stylist Mrs Jones at the shoulders adorned with feathers was silly. He says: "I love this jacket, with her, I feel strong."
That you are on stage with me do, of course, stands for Flowers out of the question. "This is the Las Vegas tradition, which I know nothing else." When other American bands prefer simply in jeans and lumberjack shirt dress, he verzieht frowning face and says: "There are nirvana blame. It can be even in jeans and T-shirt look good. Bruce Springsteen for example, saw in the 70s Simply great. "
Flowers obviously sees the Killers also in the tradition of Springsteen music. Finally, the Killers on their album "Sam's Town" in depth with American myths employed. On "Day & Age" is a song called "Dustland Fairy Tales" in which Flowers is mainly how his parents once in a trailer park have met. He was the "slick chrome American prince", the "Cinderella in a party dress." It actually reminds Springsteen and is just another proof of the adaptability of the band, however, deny would ever have to be changed. They are with you.
Everything for the viewer completely after excessive staging and tried mimicry looks, is in self-understanding of the Killers completely authentic. Its artificiality, of course, is because they do not perceive as such. You think not only about that. They come from Las Vegas. Killers may have affected the way they work and also their self-one of the most modern bands in the world.
