The Killers have shared a number of details about their fifth studio album in the March 2017 edition of Q. While the article is very short, it contains a great deal of information about their fifth studio album.

I strongly recommend heading over to Sweet Talk where scans of the article have been posted or purchasing the magazine.

I have highlighted the relevant information below:

Brandon feels that they are at the halfway point with the album (at the time of the interview.)

Confirms Bono recommend producer Jacknife Lee.

Brandon reiterates that ‘Direct Hits’ felt like the closing of an era. That The Killers now need to be reimagined as men.

Brandon states that they have worked on the album in Las Vegas, Topanga Canyon, LA, Joshua Tree, and San Diego.

Brandon states that some songs on the album feel among the ‘heaviest’ they’ve done so far.

Possible new songs include: Rut, Run For Cover (dates to Day & Age era), Tyson Vs Douglas (about the boxing match).

The information above has been added to the Fifth Studio Album page.
