The Killers have announced a new album, Pressure Machine. 

On Tuesday, the Las Vegas rockers shared a trailer for the new album.

The album follows The Killers’ most recent album, Imploding The Mirage, which was released in 2020.

Pressure Machine is set in frontman Brandon Flowers’ hometown of Nephi, Utah, a close-knit community of 5300 people with no traffic lights, a rubber plant, wheat fields, and the West Hills. The album’s songs are based on Flowers’ memories and stories that impacted him growing up.

“We were discussing [Brandon] moving to Nephi as a kid and being stuck in the middle of nowhere,” says the band’s drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. “And during Covid-19, it started to feel like we were all in the middle of nowhere.” Flowers agreed, “I discovered this grief that I hadn’t dealt with,” he says, “many memories of my time in Nephi are tender. But the ones tied to fear or great sadness were emotionally charged. I’ve got more understanding now than when we started the band, and hopefully, I was able to do justice to these stories and these lives in this little town that I grew up in.”

Pressure Machine will be released on August 13. Pre-order it here.
