Sources: 16. Developments: 3. Singer-songwriter Brandon Flowers has released his third solo album, ‘Thrasher’, marking a significant stylistic shift toward country and Americana. The project, released via Island Records, was recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A and features a sound characterized by acoustic guitars, pedal steel, harmonica, and strings. Collaborating with Nashville session musicians including Charlie McCoy, Bruce Bouton, and David Rawlings, Flowers produced the album with Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado. The work explores themes of small-town life, family, and the American experience, drawing on his upbringing in Nephi, Utah. Specific tracks such as ‘One Of Us’ and ‘Miss America’ touch on subjects including loss and the opioid crisis. While the album utilizes traditional country elements like honky-tonk and ballads, it also incorporates mariachi horns and expansive arrangements. In anticipation of the release, Flowers debuted the single ‘Tiger’s Blood’ at the Newport Folk Festival. He described the move to this genre as a way to find a “musical home for the personal stories he carries.” To support the album, Flowers is embarking on a headline tour across North America, the UK, and Ireland throughout September and October, including a scheduled performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall on 15 October. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-19: Brandon Flowers releases solo country album 'Thrasher The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers releases 'Thrasher', a new solo country and Americana album recorded in Nashville featuring veteran session musicians. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brandon-flowers-releases-solo-country-album-thrasher ### 2026-08-10: Brandon Flowers releases new single ‘Tiger’s Blood’ ahead of solo album The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has released ‘Tiger’s Blood’, a new single from his upcoming solo album ‘Thrasher’, set for release on August 21. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brandon-flowers-releases-new-single-tigers-blood-ahead-of-solo-album-1 ### 2026-08-07: Brandon Flowers releases new single “Tiger’s Blood” ahead of solo album Brandon Flowers released the single “Tiger’s Blood,” previewing his solo album TRASHER (out 21 Aug 2026).
