Celebrating their 10th anniversary, The Killers are getting set to release a greatest hits collection on Nov. 11th, called Direct Hits. The album will be a compilation of work from the band’s four studio albums, and will feature new tracks, including the just released “Shot at the Night.”
“Shot at the Night”, which premiered yesterday on BBC Radio 1, is a collaboration between The Killers and Anthony Gonzalez of M83 fame. The bands label, Island Records, pushed the teaming up with Gonzalez, as guitarist Dave Keuning explains, “There was a mutual thing like, ‘Yeah we think [Gonzalez]’s good. We’ll try him out.’ It’s something we finally agreed with our label on.”
