of the band, "There’s such a strong center to what they're doing. Their material is so well crafted that it cuts across a lot of generational lines." It was also confirmed by Flowers that Keuning did not participate in recording the album and that he will still not be touring with the band. On April 25, 2020, "Caution" reached number one on Billboards Alternative Songs chart, setting a record of 13 years and 6 months since the band's last number-one song on the chart. In an interview with Rolling Stone published on May 5, 2020, Flowers and Vannucci stated that while Keuning is on hiatus from the band and that they had difficulties in working on the new album without him, he is still welcome to return to the Killers. They also stated that although Stoermer's role in the band continues to be limited due to pyro-inflicted hearing damage suffered during a past show in London, he is still close with Flowers and Vannucci, was involved in the recording of the album, and is expected to play select live shows once touring resumes. On July 15, 2020, the band released the music video of their new album second single "My Own Soul's Warning" and stated the album would be released on August 21, 2020. 2020–2021: Pressure Machine and Keuning's return On the weekend of Imploding the Mirages release, Flowers revealed that the band was currently in the studio working on their seventh studio album: "You know when someone makes a record and they say that they have fifty songs and they’re going to release another record? Well, we really are! We’re going to release another one in about ten months. We’ve already gone back into the studio with [producers Jonathan] Rado and Shawn [Everett]. I’m excited. It might be better than [Imploding the Mirage]." The band revealed in 22 December a provisional "A-List" of "apparent song titles on social media, sparking speculation that another new album could be on the way". In January 2021, Dave Keuning reunited with the band in the studio and are preparing to release their 7th studio album. Keuning also said that he and Mark Stoermer are open to playing live with the band. During a podcast interview in June, Vannucci revealed that the album would be released in August.
