I’m starting to believe that The Killers tried out Bruce Springsteen-style populism on Sam’s Town solely so they could do another album of synth-led new wave. This new track, “Losing Touch,” that they premiered this weekend in Las Vegas would seem to be proof: it’s a jittery, huge, anthem a la stuff on Hot Fuss. However, they do work in some gratuitous horns, so maybe this is a cross between Hot Fuss and Sam’s Town.
The Killers’ new album, Day & Age is due out November 25 via Island. [Stereogum]
