After debuting it live at Spain's Mad Cool Festival last month, The Killers have released new single "Boy." It's a bombastic mix of arena-sized heartland rock and buzzing new wave synths, closer to 2020's Imploding the Mirage than to last year's quiet, folky Pressure Machine. "This was the first song written after we had to cancel the Imploding The Mirage tour due to the pandemic," Brandon Flowers says. "I had recently moved back to Utah and started to make trips to Nephi, where I grew up. I found that the place I had wanted to get away from so desperately at 16 was now a place that I couldn’t stop returning to. I have a son approaching the age I was at that time in my life. With 'boy,' I want to reach out and tell myself - and my sons - to not overthink it. And to look for the “white arrows” in their lives. For me now, white arrows are my wife, children, my songs and the stage." The song was produced by The Killers, Stuart Price and Shawn Everett. It's streaming everywhere.
The Killers' rescheduled North American arena tour with Johnny Marr begins this month and hits NYC on September 30 & October 1 at Madison Square Garden. All dates are listed below.
