Flamingo, released in 2010, was Brandon Flowers stepping out from behind the Killers for the first time, and it sounds like a man from Henderson, just outside Las Vegas, who never quite shook off the neon. Flowers, born in 1981, had been the Killers' singer, main songwriter and keyboard man (with the odd turn on bass) since he started the band with Dave Keuning in 2001, so nobody expected him to think small, and he didn't.
The record leans on piano and voice and goes for widescreen melodrama: big-hearted choruses, a croon pitched somewhere between a prayer and a showroom finale, and songs like "Crossfire" and "Only the Young" that ache in all the right places, glossy but sincere.
It turned out to be a side door rather than an exit. Flowers stayed at the front of the Killers, but he kept the solo thread going with The Desired Effect in 2015 and Thrasher in 2026, and counting his work with the band he has topped the UK albums chart ten times.
