Just when this Icelandic crew seemed stuck in loud/soft/loud/ soft rut a la Mogwai or Godspeed You Black Emperor, they release their most beguiling, subtle and beautiful album yet. This album, allegedly the group's first sung in Icelandic rather than their own made-up "Hopelandic" (not that this listener could tell the difference) is relentlessly joyous, unaffectedly rad and inventive but never just for its own sake. Strings hold an ever more prominent place in the music, and this is a good thing. Songs unfold slowly as usual, but they take unexpected turns as often as not. The brilliant "Glósóli" burbles with as much melodic invention and anything by their fellow Icelanders Mum. Takk is a delight from start to finish, managing to be both their most accessible and experimental album yet. --Mike McGonigal

When the Killers emerged with Hot Fuss, in 2004, the box-fresh immediacy of the quartet's songs helped to disguise what a strange band they were. Four wide-eyed Las Vegas boys from good Mormon stock, the Killers had no interest in the decadence of their hometown, longing, instead, for life in the rain-soaked north of England in the miserable early Eighties. Their kindred spirits were misanthropes like Joy Division yet they had such a knack for radio-friendly choruses that their new wave songs, all of which were swathed in synths, always ended up sounding like chart-bound smashes.
