[80] Rebel Souls - "Leviathan"
[69] Me First And The Gimme Gimmes - "¡Blow it....at Madison's quinceañera!"
The record, set for release next month, draws from Brandon Flowers' experiences of growing up in small-town Utah
“Everything came to this grinding halt,” said frontman Brandon Flowers. “And it was the first time in a long time for me that I was faced with silence. And out of that silence this record began to bloom, full of songs that would have otherwise been too quiet and drowned out by the noise of typical Killers records.”
The record is also set to be one of The Killers’ most personal offerings to date, with Brandon explaining how it was inspired by his experiences of growing up in the sleepy town of Nephi, Utah.
“Had it not been for advancements in the automotive industry, Nephi in the ’90s could have been the 1950s,'” said Brandon. “I discovered this grief that I hadn’t dealt with.
“Many memories of my time in Nephi are tender. But the ones tied to fear or great sadness were emotionally charged. I’ve got more understanding now than when we started the band, and hopefully I was able to do justice to these stories and these lives in this little town that I grew up in.”
