Lawrence Arms begin work on new album

The Lawrence Arms, having just returned from a tour with A Wilhelm Scream and The Methadones, posted an update on their website about their upcoming full length follow up to The Greatest Story Ever Told (and the rarities retrospective Cocktails and Dreams):

We have twelve songs written so far, and a few more in the hopper. Chris and I are learning each other's guitar parts and words and we're putting together what I can only assume is going to be the best record ever made (which is a possible title as well). As of now, the record is scheduled to come out on Fat Wreck Chords in early March

As for future plans including touring, the band added little except to mention that co-vocalist Brendan Kelly did recently "break [his] kneecap in half."
