The Killers Prepare New Album

After months and months and months of touring in support of their debut album ‘Hot Fuss’ The Killers are finally starting to think about the recording process of their second album.

According to frontman, Brandon Flowers, the band are hoping to have the new record out "no later than June."

After writing whilst on the road the band already has a number of songs for the album the follow up to ‘All These Things I’ve Done’, ‘Higher and Higher’ and ‘The Natural’ which is packed with seventh chords.

Speaking to Rolling Stone Flowers said: "There's a couple of Beatles songs that are all sevenths chords,"

"It just makes it feel so different -- almost like a Bee Gees feel. In ('The Natural,') we sing about the ocean and things, but it's dark. It's like the beach meets Nick Cave."

The bands favourite new track ‘Where The White Boys Dance’ has yet to be tested out live, Flowers said: "We're holding on to it. It's our ace in the hole. It's a pop song, but when you hear it, it makes you feel dirty. Everybody's going to love it."

Before they hit the studio however, they have to decide on a producer, not an easy task when the world’s best are queuing up to offer their services: "We have too many," said Flowers.

“If we could make another record like the first one, then I think it would be successful. But I want to get a producer who will mess with the parts, somebody with different ideas on how to arrange it. We've already proven that we can write a perfect pop song, but I admire bands like the Talking Heads for having hits that are still pop and rock, but out of the norm."

Let’s hope they sell enough records so they can buy a new suit for Brandon…that ain’t pink.
