The Killers’ singer Brandon Flowers has confirmed the band will “definitely” release a new album in 2012.
Interviewed by the U.K.’s BBC Radio 1, Flowers revealed the band had already recorded some songs. “It’s just whether it’s [released in] the summertime or the wintertime,” he said.
One song looking certain to appear on the album is called “Battle Born,” with Flowers describing it as a “killer.”
The Las Vegas band’s last release was their 2008 album Day & Age and they’ve been on hiatus since early 2010. Flowers released a low-key solo album called Flamingo in 2010, but said he’s enjoying being back with the four-piece.
“It’s just exciting getting everyone in the room to make some noise. It’s quite a bit louder than with my solo thing, so I’ve got to get used to that.”
Flowers insists The Killers are not looking to “throw a curveball.”
“I think the consensus within the band is to take those things that we’ve done well and really hone in on that,” he said. “We don’t want to make Hot Fuss 2 or Sam’s Town 2, or Day & Age 2. We’ll maybe take all that stuff, the best of all of it, and do what we know how to do.”
The Killers played the Lollapalooza festival and a show in London’s Hyde Park in June 2011, but this is the first news of new recordings.
