The Killers, who formed in 2001, recently dropped a new live film Notes From A Quiet Town, based on their Pressure Machine tales of Brandon Flowers' hometown Nephi.
Nevada rockers have released a brand new song, 'Boy', debuted at July's Mad Cool Festival in Madrid.
According to the Vegas band, the song predates the 2021 record Pressure Machine and helped inspired the material on that album. The song is produced by the Killers, Stuart Price, and Shawn Everett.
The synth-heavy, anthemic number is brimming with nostalgia and comfort, evoking their wistful 'Human' era.
"This was the first song written after we had to cancel the Imploding the Mirage tour due to the pandemic," Brandon Flowers said in a statement. "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."
