Band is going to release new album in August or September, almost finished mixing the songs, title to be announced later today. It is actually the first of four new albums they have recorded, that they will release one after another. That's right. I said four. Apparently Switchfoot loves us all. And I love Switchfoot. And I just had to share this totally awesome news with everybody.

Saw this on twitter. Wow, I wonder if they'll do it by season like they did with Jon's solo EP's, which are great by the way. Not to mention Jon's Fiction Family CD, he stays pretty busy. Looks like the first one will be out by September. What's even more amazing is that they said there would be over 80 songs, when's the last time you bought one album with 20 songs? How about four of them? lol. So excited for this/these.

I gathered that he wrote 80+ songs, not that they'd all be released, but that would be interesting if they were.

Wow 4 Albums? :O
Though that sounds good, that worries me now that they're not going to be as good as their older stuff. Oh Gravity was okay, but I don't know if they can top The Beautiful Letdown or even Nothing is Sound.
So if they're doing this 4 album thing, are they only going to release 1 or maybe 2 singles from each album if they're released consecutively like this?

I was actually listening to "Nothing Is Sound" at work today and was thinking it's been a damn long time since Switchfoot came out with any new material and now I see that my thoughts have definitely been answered. I wonder how many songs are actually going to be on each album and will each one sound different. This should be interesting the near future to see what happens...

four albums?... sounds like they were too lazy to cut the fat. all the good songs will add up to 1 CD with 3 CDs of crap

I'm sure it will be pretty solid. And I will also bet they will not come out that fast either.
September 2009
Summer 2010
Spring 2011
Winter 2012
is my guess

One of my fav. bands - IMO it was ridiculous how tracks from last CD did barely anything, esp. Awakening

Tracks confirmed for Hello Hurricane so far
"Hello Hurricane"
"Red Eyes"
"Enough"
"This Is the Sound"
"Yet"
"Bullet Soul"
"Needle and Haystack Life"
"Sing It Out"
Any bets on the first single?
Could go with the title track (And I kinda get the feeling it will be), but I'm just goona put my money on Red Eyes.

Spring 2011 to Winter 2012 is a LONG gap Unless he means Winter as in January. But I really don't think it will be that long between albums anyway. |

Trust me, in some places (like Chicago) you can still be in winter as late as March or April.
