Praise For Imploding The Mirage so far…

THE FORTY FIVE ****
A winning formula from the world’s biggest band. .. This is, for the most part, vintage Killers – glittering, gigantic and boldly triumphant.

NME *****
If ‘Wonderful Wonderful’ was an arm around a trembling shoulder, ‘Imploding The Mirage’ is a raised fist to the future.
It’s the sort of attitude that could help us all endure such trying times, and The Killers’ sixth album sounds unbreakable too. They long ago reached their natural pumped-up radio rock peak, yet here sound as though they’ve been hitting the sonic steroids.
The Killers have made another dazzling statement of ultra-modern pomp, and one arguably even more in step with new generations of alt-rock. It’s a musical DeLorean: rooted in mainstream Americana but speeding into adventurous horizons.

DIY ****
An album that feels rich and invigorating, and proves they’re still one of our most treasured bands for a reason.

MAIL ON SUNDAY ****
This album is all Killer, no filler.

CLASH 8/10
A breathless career-high from the Las Vegas group, pitching the wide open vistas so potently explored in their lyrics against tender evocations of love and faith.
Sheer, unabashed stadium sonics delivered with a heart of gold, ‘Imploding The Mirage’ finds The Killers providing one of the biggest – in both a sonic and emotional sense – albums of their career. It’s a propulsive achievement, pushing their songwriting to the limit in a thrilling, Devil-may-care manner. Irony-free and infused with feeling until it bursts, ‘Imploding The Mirage’ is the counterpoint to quarantine claustrophobia – it’s the sound of countless doors being opened, with The Killers stepping away from their limitations in a blast of undiluted ambitions.

GIGWISE 7/10
Imploding The Mirage is the light after the dark – a record about infinite love, perseverance, and the strength gained from weathering a storm. It’s especially exciting to hear an array of collaborators, a first for a band who have formerly kept guest spots to a minimum. Now, The Killers extend beyond the classic sounds in their arsenal and welcome unique twists. The result is an expansive and triumphant sound that leaves the grit and glitter of Las Vegas behind as they explore new terrain.

Following impressive performances on Global Citizens’ “One World, Together At Home”, The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Ellen, Macy’s 4th July Firework Show, and CBS This Morning, The Killers performed “Blowback” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (watch HERE) and “Caution” and “Mr. Brightside” on Good Morning America (watch HERE & HERE).

Since the release of their 2004 debut, Hot Fuss, The Killers have sold 28 million albums, headlined stadiums and festivals around the world and won dozens of accolades globally. The band continues their reign as America’s heartland heroes as they head into Imploding The Mirage.  Following their 2017 Billboard #1 album, Wonderful Wonderful – a love letter of sorts, as Brandon Flowers crafted songs of encouragement to his wife during crippling bouts of depression – Imploding The Mirage is the light after the dark; the overcoming of sadness and moving into celebration. It’s a record about eternal love, perseverance through hard times, and the strength gained from friendships and familial bonds whilst weathering a storm.

Indeed, Imploding The Mirage leaves the grit and glitter of Vegas behind for something more expansive and triumphant. (Literally. Flowers moved his family from the parched flats of Vegas, NV to the lush mountains of Utah before beginning work on the record.)  It’s an album that also pushed the band out of their musical comfort zone, exploring new terrain and referencing the albums in their collection that filled them with a sense of romance and camaraderie in their youth.  Influences include Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel, as well as Killers’ touchstones like Bruce Springsteen and New Order. Throughout it all, Flowers remains a wholly singular songwriter.
