Linkin Park frontman Mike Shinoda took part in a 17-minute livestream update from the studio this morning and conversed with fans during the process. When asked about the band’s next album, which they are presently working on, Shinoda mentioned that he expects to have the effort out during the second half of this year. He went on to say:
“It’s going well, it’s gonna be later… It’s probably like second half of this year, I think. But we’re started on it, we got some songs—they’re mostly just like words and melodies at this point. All the guys are really… I think everybody is pretty happy with where things are at. Brad and Chester have been coming in with me a lot and I feel like it’s really a good start. We don’t have any names for the songs or anything like that. But we’re back at the… We did our last two records here, I think… It’s mostly just vocals and pianos and guitar, like acoustic guitar, and some samples and stuff at this point. And even as stripped down as that is, I think we’re all really happy and excited about where things are going.”
