After a 5-month long hiatus, Jeremy Casella has been blogging again with news about a new record in the works. Regarding the project Jeremy says,

I’ve spent the last week or so working away on the first batch of songs we’ll record in the coming days. I’m thrilled to be getting back into the studio and to be finally feeling in touch with my creativity again. It’s been a long dry spell for my song writing…months and months of wrestling with lyrics and melodies, song fragments and musical approaches trying to zero in on the sound I’ve been hearing in my head for the last couple years.

So on the 21st I’ll get started tracking. There’s a lot of tension in the lyrics and not a lot of answers really…so I’m looking for beauty in the music. I look for redemption in everything these days. I think we’ll find it but I’m not sure…this is new territory for me (because I’m mostly producing it myself at this point) and I’m excited but a little intimidated…but mostly I’m excited.

Honestly, I’m just hoping that these songs are great and that people resonate with them and that the sound I keep hearing will be fully realized all throughout the album because I think it could be really beautiful and compelling. I sure hope so.
