The Killers new compilation Rebel Diamonds might not happened if the band didn't decide to scrap an album they were working on the past couple of years.
The collection includes the stand alone singles "Boy" and "Your Side of Town" and the previously unreleased track "Spirit." All three were from the sessions for the album they abandoned this year.
Brandon Flowers tells The Sun, “It just didn’t feel authentic. It felt like we were forcing something. We love synth music, it’s a part of our DNA and there’s been great contributions from us in that genre. And man, we love New Order and Depeche Mode, so it’s not a slight. It just doesn’t feel right for us at this moment.”
