The Killers Unveil 'Battle Born' Album Tracklisting
Friday, 17 August 2012
Written by Elliott Batte
American rockers The Killers have unveiled the tracklisting for their forthcoming fourth studio album ‘Battle Born’, out September 18th.
The new record features 12 brand new tracks - including their latest single ‘Runaways’ - while a deluxe version of the album will hold 15, one of which is a remix of it’s opening track ‘Flesh and Bone’.
The highly anticipated follow-up to 2008’s million-selling, hit-spawning 'Day & Age', 'Battle Born' was recorded almost entirely in The Killers’ own Las Vegas studio of the same name. Lead single 'Runaways', a small-town drama of epic proportions, is everything you could wish for from the album’s comeback single; an unmistakably American expression of romance and optimism that heralds the band’s return with cyclonic guitars and a chorus big enough to be bellowed from one end of a festival arena to the other.
'Battle Born' songs came quickly, starting with 'Runaways', followed by the record’s heart-string-tugging emotional gravity-centre 'Here With Me,' and the stadia-quaking electro-rock of 'Flesh & Bone.' When the time the band had refined the body of songs, they put together a dream team of producers, recording in fits and starts and trying new things with each. The list of those involved was a who’s who of the production world, including Daniel Lanois, Steve Lillywhite, Damian Taylor, Stuart Price and Brendan O’Brien.
The Killers play UK dates later this year, beginning by headlining V Festival on August 18th and 19th, warming-up for the festival with an intimate, low-key show at Leeds 02 Academy tonight. Check back to Stereoboard for news of further live dates soon!
