Taking Back Sunday will be releasing a new album called “Tidal Wave” on September 16 via Hopeless Records and EW broke the news earlier today. Frontman Adam Lazzara says that the album will be a departure from the band’s previous albums and that it will have more of an “Americana feel.”
When asked if the album will be “emo” Lazarra had the following response:
“Look, in my mind every album anyone’s ever written is an emo album because there’s a lot of emotion that goes into all of that. You can’t listen to ‘Hey Jude’ and tell me that’s not an emo song. I don’t like being pigeonholed because I think there’s more to it than that. I think this record highlights that very well, so no I wouldn’t consider it an emo record in the traditional sense of the word.”
The band is currently touring the country with Dashboard Confessional as part of the Taste of Chaos, but Adam Lazzara says that the band plans to debut “Tidal Wave” in small clubs this fall.
