The Killers's Brandon Flowers: Having everything shut down by Covid allowed these other songs to begin to be heard

"There's a certain amount of pressure that comes into our album world when we go in to make a record because we're thinking about keeping people in the arenas, in the stadiums. I think that pushes you into a territory musically. Having everything shut down by Covid allowed these other songs to begin to be heard that were otherwise too quiet" - The Killers' Brondown Flowers says to The New Cue about their new album 'Pressure Machine'. It's much quieter, and deals with his childhood: "I think the thing that was most profound was just that how much grief that I still had that I didn't realise that I was walking around with for some of these people, some of these stories. And that was a little bit of a shock to me, that it was cathartic for me to talk about some of these things".
