Double Dagger eyeing Vivre Sans Temps Mort

Directed by Cat Solen from the album, More.

Vivre Sans Temps Mort underwent a lot of work during the songwriting process, needing more concentration as compared to other songs on the album. They had the idea to make a song that would consist of only one note, trying to balance minimalism with enough variety to make it entertaining. [AuralStates]

This is one morbid kid putting together a toy car. As a parent, one would say, "great job son for undertaking such a complicated project". That is until the final piece is revealed. One could say he probably went through the situation based on the real world segments of the video. "I wrote my first will when I was nine years old..."

Flashguns eyeing I Don't Not Love You

Directed by Marcus Sharp and Sam Crack from the EP, Matching Hearts.

As posted on their Myspace blog, "The concept of the track is well...love...being completely infatuated with someone and not having the courage to admit your love for them".

Everything was shot tightly in the video, seemed to be nothing wider than the head to the waist could be seen. It's a great idea because as you watch it, all the touches, kisses and slaps give a reaction. There isn't much dead space to look away, you have to watch. The ordeal leaves him looking like a zombie in the last few seconds of the video...

The Killers eyeing A Dustland Fairytale

Directed by Anthony Mandler from the album, Day & Age.

It's great to take pride in one's work but it can sometime be too much. Brandon Flowers(vocals) claimed that Sam's Town, the band's second album was the best work of the past twenty years. It went on to receive mixed reviews from fans and critics though it still did well in the charts, debuting at the second spot on Billboard's charts.

Back we go to the days of greased hair and the always available pocket knife. The sound that the track has seems to be disconnected from the feel of the video. Feels like you either pay attention to the song or watch the video. When a Killer's track is played, the 50's don't quite come to mind...

The Killers eyeing The World We Live In

From the album, Day & Age.

Brandon Flowers (vocals, keyboard) left the group Blush Response in 2001 after the bandmates decided to relocate to Los Angeles, California. After finding success with The Killers he has shone in the spotlight attaining the "Most Stylish Man" award at the 2008 GQ awards.

Back to nature and still leaving tracks of human disturbance behind. Where to find the chrome toed boots?

Directed by Gerald Casale and Davy Force from their as of yet titled ninth album.
