Our favourite Calgarians in Chixdiggit posted this New Years update on their recording plans:

This morning we're back in the studio to start the new album. We've been figuring out which songs we like and which ones we don't for the last couple of months. Practicing the ones we do like (over and over) is getting kinda old. It's time to play them for real now, I guess. By the end of the month we'll be sending off the master copy to be burnt or pressed up or whatever they do with cd's. Then you guys can hear it too. We'll have updates here every time we accomplish something so, hopefully there'll be lots of updates then…

The band's new record, the follow up to 2000's From Scene To Shining Scene and their first since returning from a lengthy hiatus, is expected later this year on Fat Wreck Chords.
