It’s called Mixtape 1 and its available for a free download here: http://files.geoffrickly.com/Geoff_Rickly__Mixtape_1.zip The Mixtape format is meant to be a casual way to try out some new things. There are some brand new songs, along with a cover and a rewrite of one of my oldest favorites. The majority of it was recorded in my apartment in the middle of Hurricane Sandy and the song New Sympathies, in particular, reminds me of those heavy winds and deep waters.

The Wonder Years vocalist Dan "Soupy" Campbell has announced in a recent interview that the band will be recording their new album in January next year. Campbell said: "After this tour we have three weeks off [so] we're gonna be rehearsing because we already wrote the record. The record is written. And we're actually tighter playing those songs than we've ever been before recording a record. But we want to make sure they're so tight that when we get in there we can push through it and really hit it.

January, we're recording the record and February we're in Costa Rica and Australia then we're planned out from there I just can't talk about it yet."
