In an interview with The Morning Call, Boyd Tinsley let loose - yet again - more information regarding the much hyped 9th album. Tinsley once again states that the new album is closely related to those of past times:

”I’d say like, not as far as the songs are concerned in particular, but like the mood and the vibe of it feels like ‘Under The Table (And Dreaming)’ and ‘Crash’ … it feels like the beginning again, but the music is just a lot different. It’s just like the whole excitement of starting something new, starting something fresh, feels like those first couple of albums.”

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.

The same day DMB announced that they are working with Rob Cavallo on the new album, not Steve Lillywhite as many had hoped for.

The tour dates will be in the forum calendar once our forum gets back up and running (yes, it’s annoying us too).
