They released a new album at the end of last year called "Day and Age". I really like this album. Some of my favorite tracks off the album are "Human" (also the first single), Dustland Fairytale, and Neon Tiger, among others. Another cool album of theirs to check out is "Sawdust" which is an album of B-sides, remixes, and stuff like that. Some of my favorite Killers songs are from that album.
Just thought I'd share what popped in my head at the moment...
Also, as a side note: they (the band) have been rocking these hideous 'staches lately. The drummer seriously looks like the guy from My Name Is Earl. Brandon (lead singer) has also been wearing this military-style jacket with these feathered shoulders. It is UGLY but it is apparently a very high fashion designer piece that people have been raving about. Spin magazine even named him the best dressed male musician of 2008. I definitely beg to differ.
**EDIT** lol
They also did an AMAZING cover of the Dire Straits song "Romeo and Juliet" that I found a video of. This cover is also on the "Sawdust" album. I'm only midly familiar with Dire Straits so I don't know who in the band is the main lyricist but I LOVE the lyrics to this song. Like "Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry.You said, 'I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die'.There's a place for us, you know the movie song.When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"; and "I can't do the talks, like the talk on TVAnd I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you. I can't do anything, except be in love with you"... those are my favorite lyrics but lyrically I pretty much love the whole song. I always puts a little smile on my face when I listen to it.
