Imploding the Mirage by The Killers
Imploding the Mirage is an album by The Killers, released in 2020. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 28 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Caution”, on 16 lists with a best position of #5.
Imploding the Mirage, the Killers' sixth album, arrived on Island on August 21, 2020, months later than planned after the pandemic pushed it back from May. It's also the odd one out in their catalog: the only Killers album made without lead guitarist Dave Keuning, who had stepped away from the band in 2017. Mark Stoermer picked up guitar alongside his bass, producer Jonathan Rado pitched in, and guests Lindsey Buckingham and The War on Drugs' Adam Granduciel filled in the rest.
What came out is Brandon Flowers at his most widescreen, heartland rock and synth-pop stacked into anthems built for open highways, with Ronnie Vannucci Jr. driving the whole thing. "Caution" led the way as the first single, with "My Own Soul's Warning" and "Dying Breed" behind it. It went to the top of the UK Albums Chart, though the tour behind it didn't start until April 2022, in the band's hometown of Las Vegas.
