Platinum-certified emo rockers Taking Back Sunday are on course to released their eighth studio album “152” via Fantasy Records on October 27th. The first single from the album “S’old” launched online today, August 30th, with a video for it posted below.
Recording sessions for “152” took place under producer Tushar Apte (Demi Lovato, BTS), while mixing was overseen by Neal Avron (Twenty One Pilots, Bleachers). The band had the following to say of this new opus:
“‘152‘ offers a lot more hope and light than we first realized when we were in the thick of it, putting it all together. We’ve been fortunate enough, through our music, to grow up with a lot of people going through the same things at the same time, and probably feeling the same way. Our hope is that you’re able to find a little bit of yourself in this new collection of songs, because you’re not alone, and neither are we.”
Vocalist Adam Lazzara stated:
“You would think after 20 years, we knew what each other is going to do. But there were so many times making this record where I heard the initial idea and thought I knew where it would go, but then I was super surprised. It’s those kinds of surprises that make it so exciting. That’s why we all still want it so badly.”
Drummer Mark O’Connell added:
“When we’re writing songs, the one thing we ask ourselves, ‘Is it capable of making people feel something?’ You try to make people feel emotion. That’s the one goal we went in with, and we think we did it.”
