Jeremy Enigk has announced the impending release of his first solo album in 10 years. The former Sunny Day Real Estate frontman started recording for the album late last year, working with his co-producer Josh Meyers. The recording is expected to wrap up at the end of February with Enigk will be manning the guitar, keyboards and bass for the album while being assisted by several other musicians and a string section. The sound of the album is hinted at being "similar to, but not quite as explosive, as the lush orchestral sounds of Return of the Frog Queen," his last solo outing.

Enigk will be heading out on a European tour in July in support of the as-yet-untitled album, bringing the show back to the States in August. The album will be released via Lewis Hollow Records and distributed by Reincarnate records via Sony/BMG.

Enigk has spent time at the front of genre-defining emo band Sunny Day Real Estate as well as his more recent project The Fire Theft who recently went on a break in order for him to focus on his solo works.
