Long after the global success of their 2004 song "Mr. Brightside," The Killers have continued to deliver their own brand of indie-rock heat with albums like "Sam's Town" (2006), "Battleborn" (2012), and, most recently, "Pressure Machine" (2021). Currently on a worldwide tour, the band has sparked rumours among fans that an eighth studio album is on the way.
Speaking with NME in July, lead singer Brandon Flowers said the "full record will probably be early next year." Since the interview, The Killers have released "Boy," a track originally intended to appear on "Pressure Machine."
"It was the song that took me back home and was sort of the impetus for writing 'Pressure Machine,'" he said. "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."
The band haven't revealed a specific title or release date for their new album.
