By the Numbers
Flowers is on all eleven tracks, mostly with Jonathan Rado, who produced. There are no samples to clear and no collective credits, so the writer column is the shortest it has been since Sam's Town. That matches the record: a set of small-town character studies written by one person about one place.
Pressure Machine is The Killers' seventh album, released in August 2021 on Island and EMI, a year after Imploding the Mirage. Jonathan Rado and Shawn Everett produced it. Written about Nephi, Utah, where Brandon Flowers grew up, it is the quietest record the band has made and topped the UK Albums Chart.
