The Killers have teased fans that are waiting eagerly for a new record, saying that a new Killers album will definitely be out by the end of 2012.
The band have been working on and recording their fourth studio album for the past couple of weeks, and are confident that there will be a release before the end of the year. Speaking to Zane Lowe on his Radio 1 show, frontman Brandon Flowers talked about a possible release date – and reassured fans that there’d be no massive change in style.
“There will definitely be a Killers record coming out in 2012,” Flowers excitedly confessed. “It's just whether it's out in the summer time or the winter time. That's still up for debate. We're still in the factory working!
“We wrote a lot of songs that weren't completely finished and it would become an epiphany when a great song happens as there were so many crappy ones. Now I'd say we know how to get it to a certain level and it's difficult to know if it's a ten or not.”
“We've already done some recording. We've done a little bit with Brendan O'Brien and now we're sneaking in some time with Steve Lillywhite. We're not looking to go and make some drastic change or throw a curveball.
“I think the consensus in the band is: let's take the things we have already done and really hone in on that. We don't want to make Hot Fuss 2, Sam's Town 2 or another Day & Age, but we may take the best of all of that stuff and really do what we know how to do. It's definitely a Killers record.”
