Brandon Flowers admitted during a new interview with The Times that he’s thought about how much longer he can be an artist. In 2023, Flowers struggled to decide which direction to take The Killers in next, as the band is his identity and the songs fill the seats, but his fulfilled came from  making music like [2021 album] ‘Pressure Machine’.”

“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,” Flowers said in a previous statement.

The frontman of The Killers is releasing his new solo album, ‘Thrasher’, finds Flowers at his most personal and vulnerable, delving into a chapter of his life that he’s rarely written about before, and reminiscing about these formative years. The LP explores Flowers’ early years, spent in the small town of Nephi, Utah. He looks back on how his father would drive him around the countryside listening to Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings on the record.

Flowers has already shared two singles from his forthcoming new solo album, ‘Plans’ and ‘Paradise’. One is a romantic South West record, and the other is a narrative South West record which picks up where ‘Pressure Machine’ left off.

He’ll take ‘Thrasher’ out on a UK, Ireland and North American solo tour later this year. The run of shows includes a stop at the historic Royal Albert Hall in London in October. Find any remaining tickets here (UK and Ireland) and here (North America).

Meanwhile, Flowers debuted some new solo material and joined Lucy Dacus and Nathaniel Rateliff at Newport Folk Festival last month, while also dusting off some Killers classics.
