The Early November, who signed to Rise Records late last year, have hit the studio to begin work on their first new album since 2006's triple-CD The Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path . The group went on hiatus shortly after that but reformed in June 2011.

They posted this via their Tweeting machine:

We're keeping our SXSW momentum going by starting to record the new record today! We'll all be updating regularly

The group also confirmed plans to perform at Raleighpalooza, a festival set for May 5th in Raleigh, NC.
