Flamingo (Deluxe Edition)

Nu slechts € 9,99 Apparently not all the Killers wanted to leave Sam s Town behind. Left to his own devices, Brandon Flowers rushes back to the faded facades, tattered dreams and overheated pomp of the Killers second album, a divisive lab exercise in splicing the DNA of Springsteen and Echo & The Bunnymen. Flowers tales of West Coast losers on a last chance power drive are pretty much the only differentia between Flamingo - with all his neon lights and turned trick cards, it s surely named after the fabulous casino and not the bird - and a Killers album. Perhaps Flamingo doesn t push its points as forcefully as it would if Flowers were backed by the Killers - its emphasis on atmosphere, as most records produced by Daniel Lanois are - but even without harder rhythms and prominent guitars this is cut from the same cloth as the band s three albums, pushing surface as substance. So florid are Flowers obsessions-not every songwriter squeezes out two song cycles out of Las Vegas-that it s always a bit of a shock to realize that he truly, deeply, madly means it all: his odes to Sin City are devoid of irony, his spectacle isn t meant to have a shred of camp, his mini-epics are intended to paint him as the Springsteen of the desert. This blinkered earnestness blinds him to just how silly all this is. From Flowers five-dollar words to the operatic bombast, every little moment of Flamingo carries weight which means every moment cancels out the one that came before: it s all sequined stage costumes shimmering under blaring lights. But that s where the earnestness kicks in and saves him: he s the diva taking the spotlight for her solo crossed with a schoolboy satisfied with his final project, believing so much in his fussy grandeur he almost gives Flamingo meaning.
