NSDTCM:THE KILLERS

The Killers are hard at work collecting B-sides, rarities and one-off sides for a compilation album to be released later this year, entitled Sawdust, out November 12th on CD, download and limited edition double gatefold vinyl. The band is hunkered down at a recording studio in New York's Hell's Kitchen, completing the album with the legendary Lou Reed.

Brandon told Billboard.com that "we have about fifteen of these songs that people have never heard, and we wanted to stick them on something for people to get to have them all together."

The album will include both tracks that have previously been available as b-sides and brand new never before heard songs including "All the Pretty Faces" (which was the B-side of "When You Were Young"); two movie soundtrack tunes, "Shadowplay" (a Joy Division cover, from Control, Anton Corbijn's biopic of Ian Curtis) and "Move Away" (from Spiderman 3); as well as a cover of Kenny Rogers & the First Edition's "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" (taken from a 2005 Radio 1 Zane Lowe session). The collection will also contain songs which weren't complete for Sam's Town which the band recently went back into the studio to finish off.
