The Killers to Release Cover Album
In addition to tinkering around with songwriting ideas for its next Christmas single, the percussionist admits there have been internal discussions about the long-rumored Killers covers album. Songs already recorded include Bright Eyes cover "Four Winds (U.K. B-side for "Spaceman"), as well as a Cyndi Lauper tune and a version of Murray Head's "One Night in Bangkok." Regarding the latter track, Vannucci says the band "messed around" and recorded it with Louis XIV. He stressed at the very least a street date for the covers project remains far off, if not open-ended. [Billboard]
A cover album from the Killers would be amazing. Even though they haven't made anything as good as their first album in my opinion, I still look forward to anything new they release. Maybe if Brandon Flowers makes friends with Pete Wentz we'll get a Killers cover of "Dance, Dance". Haha.
