The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers is back with a brand new solo record. Thrasher, the singer/songwriter's third album, is out August 21 via Island. It comes 11 years after his last solo effort, The Desired Effect.
The first single, "Plans," is out this Friday.
Thrasher was recorded in Nashville at RCA Studio A with longtime producers Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado.
"As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found my way back to my father’s music - ‘Country-Western’ (as he called it)," says Flowers of the new material. "[And I] discovered that the stories I carry really feel most at home in the skin of this beautiful American tradition."
According to press release:
"Much of THRASHER features songs written in persona thinly veiling stories about Flowers’ friends and family from his teenage years until now, all rendered with the balance of sadness and humor inherent to country music."
The last Killers record was 2021's Pressure Machine.
