Brandon Flowers has shared another new solo single, ‘Tiger’s Blood’ – you can listen to it below.

The track is the third taste of the Killers frontman’s third solo album, ‘Thrasher’, which is out on August 21 via Island. He released the first track, ‘Plans’, in June before dropping ‘Paradise’ last month.
Elsewhere, he recalls a “disposable Kodak memory” and remembers a “new kid in the county“.
Flowers debuted his latest single at the Newport Folk Festival recently, where he also aired some Killers classics and performed with Lucy Dacus and Nathaniel Rateliff.
Recorded in Nashville, the country-inspired ‘Thrasher’ was made with the singer’s longtime producers Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado, as well as guitarist David Rawlings, pedal steel player Bruce Bouton, and 85-year-old Charlie McCoy (the harmonica player who featured on all four of Bob Dylan’s Nashville records).
The upcoming record delves into Flowers’ early years, spending his childhood in the small town of Nephi, Utah. He looks back on how his father would drive him around the countryside listening to Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings on the project.

He’ll take ‘Thrasher’ out on a UK, Ireland and North American solo tour later this year. The run of dates features a performance at the historic Royal Albert Hall in London in October.

Speaking to NME last year, Flowers spoke about his plans for two new solo albums, describing the first one as more of a “step backwards” from his 2015 record ‘The Desired Effect’.
As for future material from the Las Vegas group, Flowers told NME it was “a little too early to say” what their next era would sound like.
However, he revealed that they wouldn’t be returning to the slick, synth-y style of their recent Stuart Price-produced singles ‘Boy’, ‘Your Side Of Town’ and ‘Spirit’ from greatest hits compilation ‘Rebel Diamonds’.
In other news, Flowers has revealed that he has considered quitting music. “I’m really going through it right now: how much longer do I want to do this, what does it mean, why am I doing it anyway?” he explained.
In 2023, he told The Times that he was in a “crisis” as he struggled to decide which direction to take The Killers in next.
