Brandon Flowers Announces Nashville‑Recorded Country Solo Album Thrasher

The album marks a personal turn into country and Americana songwriting that Flowers says expands rather than replaces his rock work.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that Flowers announced Thrasher will be released Aug. 21 on Island Records with lead single “Plans” arriving June 26.
  • Thrasher was recorded at Historic RCA Studio A in Nashville last year and was produced by longtime collaborators Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado.
  • The record features veteran Nashville players including David Rawlings, pedal‑steel player Bruce Bouton, and harmonica legend Charlie McCoy and leans on country/Americana textures.
  • Songs draw on Flowers’s Utah upbringing and family stories, with tracks described as intimate character studies and a tribute to a late brother‑in‑law.
  • Reports say this is the first of two solo records Flowers has ready and that The Killers plan a new album in 2027, but those details remain reported plans rather than independently confirmed.
