According to Paste Magazine, Ben Folds has announced his next full length. The record is titled Way to Normal and is due out September 16, 2008.
The album is Folds’ first studio output since 2005’s Songs For Silverman. In the interim years he released the EP compilation, Supersunnyspeedgraphic: The LP, and the soundtrack to Over the Hedge which included a somber piano-driven cover of The Clash’s “Lost in the Supermarket.”
The album was produced by Dennis Herring (Counting Crows, Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello) and will be released on Epic Records. Ben told Paste about the sound:
It’s a fairly un-orchestral record. It’s a lyric-driven rock record. We’ve looked at taking a few of the songs on the new record and scoring them for orchestra and, uh, it was kind of slim pickins.
