Brandon Flowers and co have just dropped the deluxe edition of their 2020 album Imploding The Mirage’, which features the previously unheard outtake from their sessions making the record.
The extended album also includes acoustic live cuts of the tracks ‘Blowback’ and ‘Caution’.
Meanwhile, the Somebody Told Me hitmakers have been teasing fans about their new album and have reunited in the studio with guitarist Dave Keuning.
The musician took some time away form the group to work on his own music, releasing his debut solo album ‘Prismism‘ in 2019, but he’s seemingly back in the band after not contributing to ‘Imploding The Mirage’.

The Killers have shared footage of themselves in the studio recording music once again with guitarist Dave Keuning.
Keuning has been less active with the band since 2017 when he began to pursue a solo career, which he said “reawakened the creative part of me”, and later released his debut album ‘Prismism‘ in 2019. He didn’t contribute to the band’s last album ‘Imploding The Mirage‘.

“You know when people just say that? Every time someone makes a record they say that they have 50 songs and they’re going to release another record. We really are,” Flowers told NME after the completion of ‘Imploding The Mirage‘. “We’re going to release another one in about 10 months. We’ve already gone back into the studio with [Jonathon, producer] Rado and Shawn [Everett, producer]. We did a week in Northern California.
“I had a lot of time on my hands. Before I’d normally be gearing up to tour, all of that time has gone back into writing more songs. It’s been pretty fruitful.”
