Today, The Killers’ Brandon Flowers – one of the most influential songwriters of the modern era – shares new single “Paradise,” the latest offering from his upcoming solo record THRASHER, out August 21, 2026 via Island Records.
“Paradise” is an upbeat country track that pulls from Flowers’ extended family working and aging in the casino ecosystem of Vegas.

THRASHER is Flowers’ first solo album in over a decade. Recorded in Nashville with longtime producers Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado, THRASHER features many of Music City’s most renowned players, including longtime Gillian Welch collaborator David Rawlings on guitar, prolific and influential pedal steel player Bruce Bouton, and 85-year-old Charlie McCoy, the legendary harmonica player whose signature playing graces all four of Bob Dylan’s iconic Nashville records. Rooted in his formative childhood years in the small town of Nephi, Utah, the timeless sonic approach proves to be the ideal home for Flowers’ most personal and vulnerable songwriting yet.
