The information on the new album was released Wednesday from a Twitter post by lead singer, Dan “Soupy” Campbell’s account (@headabovewater), saying: “My voice is totally gone. We have to be at the airport to go to Kerrang tour in five hours but I think we just finished a record.” This news couldn’t come at a better time as they finished the recording in time for their European Kerrang Tour with Good Charlotte and Four Year Strong.
The band has posted this record will be split into 13 parts which are supposed to be 13 pieces to a chronological journey that has taken place from November 2009 to November 2010. The record, according to Campbell, does not stray far musically from their sophomore album, The Upsides. In January 2010, The Upsides landed at #5 on Billboard Alternative album chart.
As The Upsides was an upbeat and positive album, Campbell claims,“Lyrically, I think at first people will be a little confused, because it’s not as overwhelmingly positive. Upsides was a record dealing with depression and social anxiety and seasonal affective disorder, and so it was kind of a record about beating that sadness. Whereas this is a record where all of the parts that seem negative, I think, are outside of me. I’m talking about negative things, but it’s not in my own head anymore—it’s problems I’m seeing with the world.”
The band has not released a working title or a release date yet. European fans can catch them on tour from Feb. 4 - Feb. 18, or American fans can catch them this summer as they make the full trek on the Vans Warped Tour.
