According to an interview by Billboard, the band has been working with the producer Robert Cavallo and old band-friend Tim Reynolds on the new studio album for the past couple months. In the interview, Boyd Tinsley emphasized that the album is very much a whole band work, and the output so far being songs that Tinsley compared to the band’s older works, such as those off of Under the Table and Dreaming and Before These Crowded Streets. He also noted that many songs are lyric-less and have a small chance of being played this summer. Excerpt from the article after the break.

“Every song was written by everybody at the same time - we’ve never really done that before. We all got together and played and got these ideas, and we’d all work through building these songs all together. Everybody’s just really excited about it. That’s why I say it sounds very much like DMB. It couldn’t be more purely DMB than what it is.”
