Brandon Flowers (The Killers) news

Island Records

The Killers’ Brandon Flowers will release THRASHER, his first solo album in over a decade, August 21, via Island Records. Recorded in Nashville at Historic RCA Studio A with longtime producers Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado, THRASHER features Gillian Welch collaborator David Rawlings on guitar, pedal steel player Bruce Bouton, and 85-year-old Charlie McCoy, the harmonica player whose playing is heard on all four of Bob Dylan’s Nashville records.

Rooted in his formative childhood years in the small town of Nephi, Utah, the first single from the album, “Plans” is available now. It is accompanied by a special live performance video “Plans (Live From Historic RCA Studio A).”

Brandon has also revealed touring plans for September and October in support of THRASHER. All dates below and on sale.

Though Americana and Western stylings have often mingled with the alternative traditions in The Killers’ DNA as far back as their 2006 sophomore outing Sam’s Town all the way on to Pressure Machine, Flowers found that he’d tapped a new, rich vein of his songwriting: “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found my way back to my father’s music - ‘Country-Western’ (as he called it) - and discovered that the stories I carry really feel most at home in the skin of this beautiful American tradition,” he says.
