Brandon Flowers, the frontman of The Killers, announces “Thrasher,” a new solo album that he frames as his “country/western” record. Multiple outlets report that it will be Flowers’ first solo album in more than a decade. Stereogum notes that Flowers has released solo albums in the past, with his most recent prior solo release being 2015’s “The Desired Effect,” and it also points to his earlier remarks about scrapping an almost-finished Killers album in 2023. After teasing new work, Flowers now presents “Thrasher” as a rootsy project rooted in country and western sounds. Spin similarly reports that “Thrasher” is coming as a long-awaited solo release and emphasizes the length of the gap since his previous solo work. While details beyond the album’s concept and long-interval return are limited in the provided coverage, both sources agree on the core points: the album’s title, Flowers as the artist, and its country/western direction.
