Some of that stuff is starting to resurface and a lot of that had to do with <a href="Synthesizer" title="Synthesizer">synthesizer</a> music.

</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Recording">Recording</h2></div>
<p><i>Imploding the Mirage</i> was recorded in various locations, including in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and <a href="Park_City%2C_Utah" title="Park City, Utah">Park City, Utah</a>, and produced by Canadian producer <a href="Shawn_Everett" title="Shawn Everett">Shawn Everett</a>, and <a href="Jonathan_Rado" title="Jonathan Rado">Jonathan Rado</a> of the band <a href="Foxygen" title="Foxygen">Foxygen</a>. The duo pushed the Killers to think beyond what people might expect of them. Drummer <a href="Ronnie_Vannucci" class="mw-redirect" title="Ronnie Vannucci">Ronnie Vannucci</a> noted: "It kind of felt uncomfortable in a really special way, I remember thinking, 'I don't know what's going to happen and I like it.'"<sup id="cite_ref-NMEInterview_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NMEInterview-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The album is the band's first not to feature founding guitarist <a href="Dave_Keuning" title="Dave Keuning">Dave Keuning</a>, who took a step back from the band in a touring and recording capacity following the release of their previous studio album, <i><a href="Wonderful_Wonderful_(The_Killers_album)" title="Wonderful Wonderful (The Killers album)">Wonderful Wonderful</a></i> (2017). Flowers and Vannucci reached out to Keuning to rejoin them in the studio to record <i>Imploding the Mirage</i>: "When we started working the schedule out, we asked [Dave] if it worked for him and he was like, 'Maybe, I don't know'. Well, we're going to go ahead and do this because we feel good and we feel creative. Let's strike. We didn't really hear from him, except when it came to making a video. He was like, 'If you guys want me in the video…' Well, I'm not sure that makes any sense either! Video? How about some guitar?"<sup id="cite_ref-NMEInterview_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NMEInterview-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Flowers elaborated: "He's just happy to be in San Diego and doesn't really want to venture out of there. If he comes for a week and we don't tap into the universe, that frustrates him a lot. He's kind of just spending time with his family and I think he's content doing that right now."<sup id="cite_ref-NMEInterview_12-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NMEInterview-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The following year, Keuning discussed his own reasons for not taking part in the recording sessions: "I just needed a break from everything. [<i>Imploding the Mirage</i>] was probably just as busy of a schedule as touring for ten or eleven months. That record took a long time to record. I feel like it took a year and a half. Only they would know, but I feel like it took a while. I just... we were kind of at a stalemate. [...] If it was recorded in San Diego, I probably could have been a part of it. I wasn’t ready to work out of Vegas or Utah for a year and a half."<sup id="cite_ref-KeuningRollingStone_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-KeuningRollingStone-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Bass guitarist <a href="Mark_Stoermer" title="Mark Stoermer">Mark Stoermer</a>, who has been on touring hiatus from the band since 2016, contributed both bass and guitar to the album. Regarding Stoermer's involvement, Vannucci noted: "Mark's awesome in so many ways. We'd tell [Dave and Mark], 'This is the schedule, we're renting a house for six months, come out, whenever you want, we're there every day'. Mark came out to the house one time and to Los Angeles and it was great. It was on his own terms and was very productive. He played bass on some songs, played guitar on some songs, and even though he wasn't in the room we'd send him mixes and he'd be involved."<sup id="cite_ref-NMEInterview_12-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NMEInterview-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
