Hot Fuss is the debut studio album by American rock band the Killers, released on June 7, 2004, in the United Kingdom and on June 15, 2004, in the United States by Island Records. The album`s music is mostly influenced by new wave and post-punk. Hot Fuss spawned four commercially and critically successful singles: `Mr. Brightside`, `Somebody Told Me`, `All These Things That I`ve Done` and `Smile Like You Mean It`.

The album reached number seven on the Billboard 200 and number one on the UK Albums Chart. As of December 2012, Hot Fuss had sold more than seven million copies worldwide, including more than three million in the United States and more than two million in the United Kingdom. It has also been certified platinum or multi-platinum in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand. The album and its first three singles went on to garner five Grammy Award nominations.

Background
The album was recorded at various points throughout 2003 with Jeff Saltzman in Berkeley, California, with the exception of `Everything Will Be Alright`, which was recorded by Corlene Byrd in guitarist Dave Keuning`s apartment. Many of the tracks were originally recorded as demos, which the band decided to keep for their spontaneity. The album was mixed by Mark Needham at Cornerstone Studios in Los Angeles and Alan Moulder at Eden Studios in London. In 2012, Brandon Flowers told NME that he felt `depressed` after hearing the Strokes` album Is This It. `That record just sounded so perfect`, he said. `We threw away everything [we were working on] and the only song that made the cut and remained was `Mr. Brightside."[6]

The songs `Midnight Show` and `Jenny Was a Friend of Mine` are two parts of the so-called `Murder Trilogy`, detailing the fictional story of a woman who is murdered by her jealous boyfriend. The first part, `Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf`, appears on the band`s B-sides and rarities compilation, Sawdust.[7]

Production
The album heavily features a vocal effect called Echo Farm on Flowers` voice. In 2014, Needham recounted, `There were three of us involved in the production company on that record: Braden Merrick, Jeff Saltzman and myself. Jeff and I had been partners for a few years. He was an entertainment attorney and was shopping stuff, but he actually really wanted to be a producer as well. We set Jeff up with a studio, got him started in recording and since he’s a smart guy, he picked it up really quick. At that time, Echo Farm had just come out, and that was really the only vocal effect he had. If you open up Echo Farm, the first setting that comes up is the default setting, which overdrives the vocal a bit and sets an 84 ms delay. That was basically what he put on everything and it sort of became the default vocal tone on the whole record, plus it worked really great, so we kept it. It changes a little bit on certain things, but it was a fairly consistent effect through the whole record.`[8]

Artwork
The album cover was photographed by Matthias Clamer in 2000, in the southern region of the suburbs of Beijing, China.[9] The characters on top of each building (`建`, `材`, `开`, and `发`) translate to `construction material development`.[10]

All tracks are produced by Jeff Saltzman and the Killers, except `Everything Will Be Alright`, produced by Brandon Flowers.
