The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has confirmed the Las Vegas band will release a new album in 2012, but has said the four piece are still unsure as to what time of year the record will be unveiled to the world.
“There definitely will be a Killers record coming out in 2012, it’s just whether it’s in summer time or the winter time that’s up for debate,” he told Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1. “We’re just kind of in the factory, working. We’ve written a lot of songs, but they aren’t completely finished.”
Later, Flowers confirmed the title of one track, ‘Battle Born‘, which is set for the LP, and described the song as a ‘pillar of the record’. “It’s just exciting getting everybody back in the room and making loads of noise, it’s quite a lot louder than when I was with my solo thing, so it’s really fun,” he added.
Since entering a hiatus following the completion of promotional duties for their third studio album ‘Day & Age‘. both Flowers and his Killers bandmate Ronnie Vannucci embarked on solo projects in 2010 and 2011 respectively.
