Sixth Studio Album On Vinyl LP!
Featuring Lindsey Buckingham, k.d. lang & Weyes Blood!
Imploding the Mirage is The Killers highly anticipated sixth studio album.
Recorded in Utah, Vegas and L.A. and self-produced in conjunction with Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado of Foxygen, Imploding The Mirage features guest spots from former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, as well as k.d. lang, Weyes Blood, Adam Granduciel of War On Drugs, Blake Mills and Lucius. Buckingham lends a guitar solo to launch single "Caution", which is an arena-ready dose of emotive Americana and vivid romanticism.
Balancing their core synths-and-Springsteen sound with stadium-sized pop bombast, the Killers strike gold, dispensing with the clumsy missteps heard on the bloated Battle Born and weary Wonderful Wonderful and delivering their most focused offering since their 2000s heyday. Finding a sweet spot between the Wild West grandeur of Sam's Town and frontman Brandon Flowers' excellent '80s-indebted solo efforts, Mirage isn't so much a revelation as a masterful distillation of what they've been doing with varying degrees of success since 2004. The typical Killers trademarks are all here - big anthems and even bigger emotions - buffered by Flowers' evocative storytelling that honors dust-swept landscapes and everyday folks just trying to make it.
