Background

Dave Keuning announced the release of his debut solo album "Prismism" in October 2018, becoming the last member of the Killers to release a solo or side project. After stepping down from touring with the Killers in August 2017, Keuning began working on song ideas that he had amassed over the past decade, some of which had been pitched to the Killers but ultimately not used by the band. He told Billboard "I didn't drop out of the Killers just to do this (album); It was just going to be too long of a tour for me, but it was nevertheless very refreshing and just felt free and I think I needed this. I don't think I've had this much fun making music in a long, long, long time." [2] He recorded the album at his home in San Diego with producer Brandon Darner, playing most of the instruments himself with contributions on drums from John JR Robinson and Seth Luloff.[3]
