The extremely Nashville-themed Thrasher drops August 21 By Alex Suskind June 23, 2026 Save this story Save this story
The Killers’ Brandon Flowers is hopping on the increasingly crowded country bandwagon. Thrasher , his first solo LP since 2015’s The Desired Effect , was recorded in Nashville; includes tassel-heavy cover art (see below); and features contributions from David Rawlings, pedal-steel virtuoso/longtime Garth Brooks collaborator Bruce Bouton, and harmonica player Charlie McCoy, best known for his work on multiple Dylan albums, including Nashville Skyline . Thrasher arrives August 21 via Island.
“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found my way back to my father’s music — ‘Country-Western’ (as he called it) — and discovered that the stories I carry really feel most at home in the skin of this beautiful American tradition,” Flowers said in a statement.
The first single, “Plans,” drops this Friday.
