Norma Jean generally takes its time between records, which is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because the guys think out the new stuff and really put their all into it, but a curse because I have to wait three years or so to hear some new Norma Jean.
We've known the band was in the studio readying a record to be out on Solid State sometime later this year, and while we still (obviously) don't have a release date, we know the record is done!
Our new record is complete. We are all home now. Can't wait for all of you to hear it.

The record was recorded with producer Josh Barber at the helm again, and was laid to tape/computers at Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, MN.
