The Killers look to have new music on the way.
The group, which released its seventh album ‘Pressure Machine’ last year, is set to kick off a new era with a string of singles set for release later this year.
“We just had a few days off and Stuart [Price, producer] came and visited us on the road,” Brandon Flowers tells NME. “We’re sending things back and forth, and ideas. I’m talking with Shawn Everett [producer] too, and it’s nice to have that combo.
“A full record will probably be early next year but there will definitely be some singles this year.”
It comes amid a series of live dates, during which the band has debuted new song Boy, which was originally intended for inclusion on ‘Pressure Machine’
The singer adds: “It was the song that took me back home and was sort of the impetus for writing ‘Pressure Machine’.
“What’s interesting is that it just didn’t make it onto the record – but its absence is not a reflection of the quality of the song. It was an aesthetic decision to keep it off the record.
“There’s an optimism to it. It’s in the dust, it’s in the gutter, and it’s looking at the stars. It’s writing in more of a new wave vehicle.”
It was previously reported that The Killers’ next album will see bassist Mark Stoermer rejoin the band after sitting out on their new music.
The musician joined the group in 2002 following the departure of founding member Dell Neal, but went on hiatus from performing in 2016.
However, after guitarist Dave Keuning rejoined the band for new album ‘Pressure Machine’, Mark is returning for it’s follow-up.
