It does appear that way. The long-awaited fifth studio album from Brand New may just see the light of day this year. At least according to an email blast that was sent out by Procrastinate! Music Traitors, the label run by the band.
The email listed the label’s upcoming releases for 2016… one of which was a new record from Brand New.
It is said that the forthcoming album could be the band’s last. Writing for the record began way back in 2009, and hit some various road bumps along the way.
Oh yeah… and don’t forget, this summer Brand New and Modest Mouse will be co-headlining a US trek together.
