The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has debuted the first single off his upcoming solo album Flamingo. The song is called Crossfire, and yeah, it sounds alot like The Killers. But that's not a bad thing, it just reminds us how much of a huge part of The Killers Brandon is. The song has an atmospheric, stadium vibe and sounds like it was from The Killers' Sam's Town era. Have a listen.
Speaking to NME, Brandon revealed that some of the songs on the record were originally intended for the next Killers album, but, with other members of the band keen to take a break after extensive touring of their 2008 album, 'Day & Age', Flowers decided to go it alone this time.
"I would prefer if this was a Killers record, although it would obviously be very different if I'd made it with the rest of the band," he explained. "We're just at different places in our lives right now. It's no secret that they're ready to put the brakes on for a second. It's definitely not the end of The Killers, but you can't blame the others —we've been going non-stop since 2003."
Flamingo will feature production by some pretty big names Stuart Price (Madonna, Seal, New Order), Daniel Lanois (U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel) and Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam). The album is due out sometime this September.
