The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has released “Plans,” the first single from his upcoming solo country album, THRASHER. The song is now available to stream, and it sees Flowers addressing a familiar topic: dealing with the fallout of unrealized dreams. Backed by acoustic guitar, a string section, harmonica, and piano, “Plans” features Flowers singing about the disappointment of not achieving his goals. “I didn’t know the cards were stacked,” he sings. “Whispering sweet nothings about/ Gearing up and chasing down/ A plan I drew up years ago.”
To accompany the single, Flowers has released a live performance video recorded at Nashville’s Historic RCA Studio A, where he recorded the album. The video showcases Flowers‘ soulful voice and emotional delivery, and it provides a glimpse into the making of THRASHER. The album is set to be released on August 21st via Island Records, and pre-orders are currently ongoing.
