This 2021 album finds The Killers eschewing their stadium-rock sound for a more intimate, narrative-driven collection of songs inspired by Brandon Flowers' upbringing in rural Utah. It delves into the quiet lives of a small town, capturing the mundane and the profound with a stark, observational approach.
- Pressure Machine was largely written and recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, with much of the band collaborating remotely.
- The album's themes are heavily influenced by Brandon Flowers' childhood memories and stories shared by his family about growing up in the small town of Nephi, Utah.
- Unlike previous Killers albums, Pressure Machine was not supported by a traditional world tour due to ongoing global circumstances at the time of its release.
Hailing from Las Vegas, The Killers emerged in the early 2000s as indie rock torchbearers, known for their stadium-ready anthems and frontman Brandon Flowers' distinctive vocals. By 2021, they had established themselves as one of the biggest rock bands in the world, touring arenas and stadiums globally for nearly two decades.
