Next you’re going to Long Island to work with Mike Sapone on another round of songs.
LAZZARA: Yeah. It worked out like that. When we were in the demoing and writing process, we had ended up splitting it up. We demoed some songs with Sapone and some songs here with Hudson. Everybody decided that Sapone had a lot of great input on the songs we did there, so we wanted to stay true to that feeling and go back to record.

Are you excited to go back and record on Long Island? It’s been awhile.
NOLAN: It’s cool to go back to Sapone. I don’t know how much everybody went there when I was not in the band, but some of the first demos that Taking Back Sunday ever did were at Sapone’s studio. That’s always been a place that I end up coming back to at least every year or two. There’s something really comforting about being in that studio. It feels very familiar, and very much like a kind of home.

You mentioned before that you likely aren’t going to self-release this album, like you did for TAYF10 Acoustic. Are you free agents right now?
LAZZARA: Yeah, we’re free agents now. That’s another thing that’s been really nice about this process. We can just do what we want with the songs. There’s not any kind of outside influence. At the same time, [release plans have] been on the backburner to the songs. We’ve been talking to a couple of different folks, but we’re focused on getting everything as good as it can possibly be, then we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Hopefully we’ll be able to release it sometime next year. We’re so neck deep in all of this technology, and everybody wants things now now now, but it’s still going to be a little bit of a wait, just so we can figure out the best home for it, and the best way to go about trying to get it to people.
