The Killers are back and with the first single — "Caution" — from their upcoming new album Imploding The Mirage. And the band has also shared some of their new record's details.

Stylistically, "Caution" is a throwback to The Killers' Sam's Town (2006) and Battle Born (2012) eras, and frontman Brandon Flowers sings in the anthemic chorus, "I'm throwin' caution, what's it gonna be?/ Tonight the winds of change are blowing wild and free/ If I don't get out, out of this town/ I just might be the one who finally burns it down/ I'm throwin' caution." The song also features an incredible guitar solo by the iconic Lindsey Buckingham.

Set to be released on May 29th, Imploding The Mirage is The Killers' 6th full-length studio album and follows 2017's Wonderful Wonderful. The new set of songs includes 10 new tracks and features collaborators like Buckingham, kd lang, Weyes Blood, Adam Granduciel (War On Drugs), Blake Mills and Lucius. The album was produced by the band in conjunction with Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado of Foxygen and is the band's first since leaving their hometown of Las Vegas.

The Killers are set to kick off a world tour this May in the UK and make their way to North America in August, and have even added additional dates. With tours and festivals being cancelled in light of growing corona virus concerns, the band announced they are confident the show will go on and shared in a post on social media:

"People of Earth, greetings and salutations. We've been putting this tour together for a long time and we are extremely excited to finally share it with you. We have, of course, been paying close attention to the recent precautionary measures around the world and trust that the coronavirus is expected to follow traditional flu season patters. We look forward to a great summer of shows. Look after each other — sing the chorus of Mr. Brightside when you wash your hands — and see you this summer!
