With only a few days before their upcoming headlining tour, Long Island's Brand New have posted an update on the progress of work on their next, highly anticipated full length.

They had this to say:

Our main focus for these past 10 months was to make the best record we possibly could…for us and you. With this in mind there was always a part we felt we could play better, or a part we felt could be improved. This tedious process explains why it has taken so long. We have all lost our minds on numerous occasions, and to be honest…still haven't found them.

We will finally be entering the mixing process on Monday June 12. Rich Costey has signed on to man the faders and we all couldn't be happier! The record should be out…you know…sometime this year….. There will be 13, 14, 15, or 16 songs being mixed And 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 of those songs will make it on the record.

We are blown away by the response the tour has received and hopefully will be testing out a few new songs on the road.

We feel now that we are truly happy with our record, and we will notify you of any SIGNIFICANT news in the future.

The band worked at the Sweet Tea studio with producer Dennis Herring on their follow-up to Deja Entendu. The album will be the first since signing to Dreamworks in 2003. The band is now on Interscope, following the buyout of Dreamworks by Universal music.
