Killers’ Brandon Flowers Discusses New Sound On Album

November 24, 2008

The Killers release their third studio album today (November 24th), titled Day And Age. The disc follows up the Las Vegas-based act’s 2006 sophomore set, Sam’s Town, which got some criticism for veering away from the dance-rock sounds of the group’s 2004 debut, Hot Fuss. The sound has changed again on the new record, but frontman Brandon Flowers told us that’s exactly what the Killers want to accomplish: “Hopefully, it’s evolving, would be the best way to describe it, because we want to be able to change. People that we like, like David Bowie and the Beatles, you know, they were able to change the way they looked and give you something fresh, and we really admire that.”

Day And Age was originally supposed to arrive on Tuesday (November 25th), but the band’s record label moved the release up one day.

The Killers will begin a North American trek in support of the CD on January 17th, 2009 in Denver, Colorado.

The quartet will also issue a Christmas single this holiday season, called “Joseph, Better You Than Me,” which is a collaboration with Elton John.
