Killers bassist Mark Stoermer has released new details for a forthcoming solo release. The new album is titled “Dark Arts” and is set for release on August 5. It features singer David Hopkins, who appears regularly with the band Bombay Heavy. “It’s writing a song together and basically texting each other a line at a time. It’s with music, you record it on your voice recorder and send it back and forth. Sometimes these things take two days, sometimes it takes a month. It’s a bit like playing chess faraway with a person,” Stoermer tells NME. “You don’t know what you’re gonna get. What it does when you’re playing the game is stripping the song down to its most essential elements, just a guitar a voice and the lyric, not thinking about the production at all. That got me into a new mindset of doing that for more songs.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights Reserved
