The Killers have returned with the fastest-rising #1 of their career at Alternative radio with “Caution,” on Island. “Caution” is the first single off the band’s forthcoming sixth studio album, Imploding The Mirage, the follow up to 2017’s Wonderful Wonderful. The band performed the song on Global Citizen's One World: Together at Home livestreamed festival on 4/18.
Produced by the band in conjunction with Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado of Foxygen, Imploding The Mirage was recorded in Los Angeles, the band's hometown of Las Vegas, and Park City, Utah. It features an array of collaborators, including Lindsey Buckingham, kd lang, Weyes Blood, Adam Granduciel, Blake Mills and Lucius, a rarity for the group, who have typically kept guest spots on their recordings to a minimum.
"Caution" features a blazing guitar solo courtesy of Buckingham, and is a standout on Imploding The Mirage. Reminiscent of the band’s fan-favorite albums Sam’s Town and Battle Born, the new LP finds The Killers evoking a spirit of ambitious reinvention matched with anthemic choruses, a proven formula that's served them well on past journeys.
