“The band has been dividing time between their longtime home base of Austin and drummer Jim Eno’s new home of Providence, Rhode Island, working with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, Nine Inch Nails, St. Vincent). Daniel says the album is about halfway done, and doesn’t have a release date or title yet. “If you went by what I’ve been listening to the most recently, it’s a cross between CCR and Jessica Pratt, but I don’t know if you hear that in those songs,” he says.”
