Killers prep third LP, debut new songs in NYC

| | Comments (0)
After blowing some Sawdust our way in late 2007 (a batch of b-sides and a duet with, um, Lou Reed) those shape-shifting Killers are gearing up for their third studio effort. Details on the much-anticipated follow-up to 2006's Sam's Town are sparse, but word from the label is the band's in full-blown recording mode with producer Jacques Lu Cont in the hopes of a November release, MTV News reports. 
When it comes to the sound of the new record, the band has kept pretty quiet -- a tactic they picked up after the Boss comments lead singer Brandon Flowers made before Sam's Town's release. Oh, and when Flowers called the album "one of the best in the past twenty years." That too.

"I think we're all learning to be more careful with what we say. Like Brandon's Bruce Springsteen comments about the last record," bassist Mark Stoermer explained to MTV News last August. "People took that as if [Sam's] was some sort of Bruce tribute album. I mean, you can hear influences there, but to single out that one thing, that early on, it put a  picture in a lot of people's minds. So we're playing it close to vest now."

Perhaps they'd rather let the music do the talking this time around. The band debuted the new songs "Spaceman" and "Neon Tiger" last night at a fan-club only show at NYC's Highline Ballroom. Judge for yourself:

"Spaceman" "Neon Tiger"
