A friend of mine sent me this video with the tagline: "If the Killers were Irish." Well, Bell X1 seems to have a few advantages over the Killers if you compare this debut single with "Somebody Told Me."
The lyrics are (marginally) less nonsensical, and Bell X1 seems to have locked down the wistfulness that makes the Killers' second album, Sam's Town, an improvement on the first. The lead singer also seems to have a more melodious voice, which sets this tune apart from other would-be Killers, and lends them an air of Interpol.
Anyway, check it out!
