The Killers amp up the funk on supremely infectious new single "The Man"

15 June 2017, 10:32 | Written by Laurence Day

The Killers return with "The Man", a staggeringly funky preview of their long-awaited fifth record.

The track is the lead preview of the group's first album since 2012's Battle Born, and sees Brandon Flowers & Co. linking up with Jacknife Lee. It's doused in vintage noises and nods, from Talking Heads to Niles Rodgers-tinted Bowie - a biggun indeed.

A press release explains that "The Man" is a song that sees Flowers "looking back on his younger self... and reconciling that wide-eyed character with the man he is now."

"The Man" is out now via Virgin EMI.
