Music News: The Killers Album Update
The Killers won’t release a new album until 2027.
The All These Things That I’ve Done group haven’t released a record since 2021’s Pressure Machine and frontman Brandon Flowers has admitted he is keen to focus on his two upcoming solo LPs before returning to work with the band.
He is quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying: “My best guess is that in 2027 you will get the best Killers record.
“I have two records complete. One is almost mixed. The other will follow shortly.
“I’m trying to decide how this is going to work logistically.
The 44-year-old singer explained the lengthy delay is due to all the touring the band have done over the last few years, though they have still found time to write together “here and thereâ€.
He said: “In 2022 we finally took Imploding The Mirage on the road. It was immense and we did 90-plus gigs.
“In 2023 we did 65 more gigs.
“There was a pent-up demand for that communal experience after Covid. Here’s where it gets tricky.
“Then 2024 saw us celebrating 20 years of Hot Fuss with the residency at Caesar’s, and 20 years of the band with Rebel Diamonds.
“The production and time that went into it all wiped out 2024, 2025 wrapped up so the two solo records I expect will be coming out in 2026.
“We’ve been writing here and there.â€
Back in 2024, Brandon admitted the group had been working on a “synth-pop record†while out on the road but ultimately ditched the project because they felt they were too old and didn’t “get the gratification†they expected.
He said: “I did not want to commit to a whole synth-pop record. It is complex.
“There is a place in our hearts for this music but we are getting older.
“We thought you could make an album faster on the road, as you are working more with computers, but we did not get the gratification from it.
“We are now making a rock ’n’ roll album.
“We have only been around 20 years and from when we started, rock radio is a different animal as there were fewer and fewer stations.â€
