Taking Back Sunday have announced their new album, 152, marking the band’s first studio full-length in seven years. It drops on October 27th, but the latest single, “S’old,” is out now. Stream it below.
Spanning 10 tracks, 152 was produced by Tushar Apte and mixed by Neal Avron. In a statement, the band said, “Our hope is that you’re able to find a little bit of yourself in this new collection of songs, because you’re not alone, and neither are we.”
“You would think after 20 years, we knew what each other is going to do,” said lead vocalist Adam Lazzara. “But there were so many times making this record where I heard the initial idea and thought I knew where it would go, but then I was super surprised.” Drummer Mark O’Connell added, “When we’re writing songs, the one thing we ask ourselves [is], ‘Is it capable of making people feel something?’ You try to make people feel emotion. That’s the one goal we went in with, and we think we did it.”
Pre-orders for 152 are ongoing. See the artwork and full tracklist below.
Directed by DJay Brawner, the accompanying video for “S’old” was filmed at a recent backyard show on Long Island that was also captured in fan-shot footage that surfaced online earlier this month. Meanwhile, the anthemic song’s lyrics play on the words “sold” and “so old” with lines like, “You’re going to get s’old/ You’re going to get so old/ You’re going to get so old either way.” Watch the clip below.
152 also features Taking Back Sunday’s recent single, “The One.” To close out the year, the band has a handful of remaining US shows and will then head over to Australia in December to play Good Things Festival. Check out the full schedule below, and grab tickets to the US dates here.
