The Killers' 2004 debut album Hot Fuss is being re-released in style. 

Out on 13 January, you'll be able to hear all of those noughties indie hits including 'Mr. Brightside', 'Somebody Told Me' and 'Smile Like You Mean It' as a belated Christmas present.

The release via UMe will be available on classic black heavyweight vinyl as well as a white pressing.

It's not the first time the band have teased us back into their music either. Recently celebrating the 10th anniversary of their second album Sam's Town, they reissued the record on vinyl in Autumn as well as performing a two day extravaganza at Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall in Las Vegas. 

 

White hot! Hot fuss! 140 gram! Very limited and only available online (Udiscover)! Link in bio.

The re-mastered double LP, included two bonus tracks, 'Peace of Mind' and 'Read My Mind (Pet Shop Boys Stars are Blazing Mix)' but it's not yet known if the new look Hot Fuss will include any extra surprises. 

If you can't wait for that then in the meantime the Vegas band have continued their tradition of releasing festive crackers with their latest Christmas song.

Brandon Flowers sings with his old teacher, Mr Ned Humphrey Hanson, in a cover of Bing Crosby's 'I'll Be Home For Christmas', on an LP raising money for RED which works towards eradicating AIDs in Africa.
