Not the longest piece, but hey, new info is good info!

Unless I missed it, I think that's the first confirmation that Wonderful is on the new album.

Thanks for posting!

Good ol Cap was right in guessing wonderful would be on the new one.  Truth be told, I've already heard that song sooooo many times I could have done without it.  But, a new arrangement would be nice.  Thanks for posting.

"a third of the way through" and "five new songs" means a potentially lengthy album.  I wonder if we'll hear 'em all on Oct. 23rd.

They are revisiting the reverb-drenched, Southern rock sound that launched their career.

YAY!!!   :)

It's funny though, the author keeps saying that, but there are not really any TT quotes that say that.  I wonder if he confused the statement of them getting back to the "way they recorded" back then to the actual sound of the album.

this is the first article about the new album that gets me fired up...i guess actually hearing song titles or something, I just think it's gonna be epic. Did I mention I can't wait for next week...

i agree, but i also don't feel like theyre saying "its between this and another one..." they're just sticking wonderful on there. so its not like we're losing a song, we're just getting a new recording. im okay with it.


I really want a confirmation on a studio recorded Friends Again. I like that song so much more than Circuital

[The DARK]

I'm really looking forward to the vibe on this one... the songs so far sound thoroughly worthy of a special place in the catalogue.

I guessed Wonderful was going to be on the new album as well. I actually wanted Carried Away to be on it as well.

Also, I wonder if the article is right or if that Tucker dude is actually co producing.

I thought Kevin Ratterman was, or maybe he's engineering it, or maybe I dreamed it.

I was hoping Carried Away was gonna be a Jacket tune, as well.  I like the idea of sharing the spotlight.  Jim's clearly the frontman in every aspect of the band, but would love to hear more from Carl and Bo vocally.  Anyone know if Tommy or Patrick can sing?  That would be cool, too.

there was an article that did say Tucker Martine? (Decemberists producer) was co producing.

Any Jacket is good Jacket.  New Jacket, so much the better.
