Overview
- Thrasher was released Friday, August 21, 2026, on Island Records and is presented as Flowers’s most personal solo record to date.
- Flowers says the songs felt too intimate to be Killers tracks and drew on memories from his childhood in Nephi, Utah to shape the album's narratives.
- The record was made in Nashville with established producers and veteran players, and features a guest appearance by The Killers drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr.
- Flowers is promoting Thrasher with a solo tour of smaller rooms—the Albert Hall is the largest listed—to allow him to tell stories about each song on stage.
- Early reviews praise the album’s country and Americana authenticity and strong songwriting, though some critics call portions uneven, and the record continues a recent shift by Flowers and other rock artists toward roots-influenced music.
