Panic! at the Disco working on concept album

In a recent interview with MTV, superstar pop-rock act Panic! at the Disco revealed more information on the progress and details of their next album. The band is currently staying in a mountain cabin in Nevada writing songs and will eventually head to Los Angeles to record and mix it. However, plans to recruit producer Danny Elfman have apparently been scrapped. Instead, Rob Mathes, who worked with them previously on the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack re-release, may be producing the upcoming album.

Additionally, the album will involve a love story theme, and be a type of concept album. Says bassist Jon Walker:

We all got together and created this -- I guess you could call it a concept -- that we all wrote and we were all involved with and pretty interested in. Most people who listen to our music can't relate to what it's like to tour and play shows and live on the road. That's the last thing we want to write about, because we do it all the time anyway. It's kind of a love story. It's a timeless age of romantic, poetic fantasies.

The band recently debuted a self-described "mature" video for the song "Build God, Then We'll Talk" from their 2005 record A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.
