Sam's Town - 20th Anniversary (1LP Red Smoke Vinyl)

Named after a casino in their hometown of Las Vegas, Sam's Town marks the mighty return of the chart-topping synth-rockers The Killers.

Having conquered the charts the world over with their debut Hot Fuss, the band have given us a taster of their eagerly anticipated follow up with the first single, "When You Were Young," which draws influences from Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, amongst others, for a more American sounding sophomore album.

The album was produced by the legendary production team of Flood and Alan Moulder - the sound is vast, a bombastic wall of sound, devoid of subtlety and proud of it. Big and bold, daft and dazzling, Sam's Town is a joy.
