If you've ever wondered how The Killers can consistently sell out huge arenas and top the charts worldwide, then wrap your ears around the latest single from this Las Vegas lot, 'Spaceman'.
Designed for flooding the stalls of the grandest of venues, what could have been "just another Killers song" is one of their jauntiest and most feel-good moments to date.
The epic "oh-oh-oh-ohhhhhh" chorus is the ideal partner to their take on 80s revivalism - all gliding synthesizers, chugging bass and thumping disco drums. They've clearly found the right formula and are sticking to their guns.
