"Not just demos. Real recordings," Vannucci told NME about the studio collaboration. "I mean, you never know what it's gonna be, I guess. But we have our engineer, and we're working with a couple of surprise guests, in the producer capacity. Some of it is sounding really cool.

"We can be guilty of making things so ornate, and sometimes that's a bad thing. So I always have conversations with Brandon [Flowers, Killers frontman] about working from a smaller palate, simplifying things. If these new tracks develop a theme, a common thread, then that could be the start of something."
