What their label says...

Tranquilize first made an appearance during sessions for Sam's Town.
The band picked it up again this summer during a break in their
Sam's Town touring schedule, approaching former Velvet
Underground leader Lou Reed for vocal duties and getting together
with him in a New York studio with Sam's Town producers Flood and
Alan Moulder last month. As Brandon told NME recently,"We were
thrilled to be able to work with Lou Reed. The song required a duet
and his voice was just right. The sentiment of the song is very him."

Tranquilize is available digitally now and will be released as a limited, numbered, one sided, etched 7" on November 5th. Brandon has chosen a lyric from the chorus for the etching:
"Sometimes I'm a travel man
but tonight this engine's failing"

Tranquilize is taken from Sawdust, The Killers' b-sides and rarities album, out November 12th on CD,
limited edition double gatefold vinyl and download.
Alongside Tranquilize, the tracklisting for the
Sawdust album will include All the Pretty Faces (the B-side of
2006's #2 single When You Were Young); a cover of Joy Division's
Shadowplay (from Anton Corbijn’s biopic, Control) 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. Additionally,
Leave The Bourbon on The Shelf, the first part in the famed murder
trilogy of Hot Fuss (with Jenny Was a Friend of Mine and Midnight
Show), will feature on the record, whose full tracklisting will be
announced next week.
