New Found Glory has been giving us some teasers of their upcoming album for quite a bit of time now. Looks like there is some significant progress, with the band recruiting an old friend to help in the production of the album. Guitarist Chad Gilbert has this to say about the recording process:
“Drum Day #1! It’s an exciting day for the world of NFG. Not only because it’s Easter Sunday and we can get away with eating as much chocolate as we want but because we started recording our new album! If you follow me on twitter then you’ve read a bunch of tweets from me about new album stuff, demos, and writing over the course of the last 6 months. Well the time has finally come and we have never been this prepared! We invited our old producer back for this record. His name is Neal Avron and he produced our Self Titled, Sticks and Stones, and Catalyst albums. It has been 7 years since we’ve made a record together. Neal had us writing and sending him song ideas all the way back to when we were on the Paramore Honda Civic tour. Going back and forth with him and having him critique our ideas for this long has really worked wonders. It forced us to write what I honestly feel are our best songs. I know every band says that about their new stuff but you will hear for yourselves soon enough!”
So there you have it. They’re tracking drums, and they’ve brought back Neal Avron. This may be a step closer to New Found Glory’s early sound, which is not a bad thing at all. And the band seems pretty confident in their material. Always a good thing.
New Found Glory’s most recent album “Not Without A Fight” was released March 2009 via Epitaph.
