The Swellers to begin recording new album next week

The Swellers have announced that they will enter the studio to begin recording their fourth full-length album next week.

The band will track music with Marc Hudson (Saves The Day, Taking Back Sunday) in Michigan, then will head to Chicago to track vocals with Mark Michalik, who the band has previously worked with on most of their releases.

The band's vocalist and guitarist Nick Diener had the following to say about the new album:

"This feels eerily similar to how things went down in 2009 when we were still between labels and had no management, but had a bunch of songs we were really excited about. That's how our record Ups and Downsizing came about, so this organic, creative process is going to be a nice return to form. Our last EP was very therapeutic as far as venting frustration and doing things ourselves, but we're in a very different, less bitter place now and just excited that we get to make music again and again. We're nearing the end of our longest ever break from touring (nearly six months), so booking this studio time, regardless of who puts out the record and when, felt like the right thing to do to keep moving."
