Taking Back Sunday released their new single ‘Faith (When I let you down)’ yesterday. You can check out the live video for the single's b side, ‘El Paso’, below.
The forthcoming new self-titled album, the band’s fifth, was produced by Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Lostprophets) who also helmed Taking Back Sunday’s ‘Louder Now’ album which topped Kerrang!’s 2006 Album of the Year poll. Writing for the album commenced at the Sonic Ranch, a studio based in a pecan ranch in El Paso, Texas shortly after the five members reunited last year and continued at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, while the recording took place at Barefoot Recording in Hollywood.
Rejoining long term members Adam Lazzara (vocals), Eddie Reyes (guitar) and Mark O’Connell (drums) are JohnNolan (guitar/vocals) and Shaun Cooper (bass), who left the band in 2003 to form Straylight Run.
The band offered a first teaser of the album when they unveiled a demo version of ‘Best Places To Be A Mom’ on their official website. The song was premiered on the band’s brief June 2010 US tour that they embarked upon shortly after announcing that Nolan and Cooper had returned to the fold. They subsequently followed it with ‘El Paso’, a raw blast of garage-rock vitriol and loud/quiet/loud dynamics and the first completed track to emerge from the recording sessions. Check out the video to 'El Paso' below.
