Brandon Flowers Trades Neon for Nashville on Thrasher

Brandon Flowers leans fully into country on his third solo LP, Thrasher, enlisting Nashville veterans like David Rawlings and Charlie McCoy to back his neo‑New Wave sensibility with twangy strings, mariachi horns, and sweeping Americana. While some tracks like Red Ground and Tiger’s Blood hit emotionally strong notes, the album often veers into heavy-handed Springsteen‑style melodrama, leaving the back roads feeling more ambitious than cohesive.

Brandon Flowers Goes Country with Thrasher, While The Killers Plot New Album

Brandon Flowers discusses his new solo country LP Thrasher, recorded in Nashville with longtime producers, which nods to classic country and centers on family stories; he emphasizes it’s not a Morgan Wallen-style project and says a companion love-songs solo record is coming next year, while the Killers are also at work on a new album with all four members. He envisions a possible smaller theater tour featuring Pressure Machine-era material as he balances two musical paths and looks ahead to a Killers comeback.
