In their latest installment of a media campaign with MTV, teen-hearthrobs Panic! At the Disco have provided some additional information on the status of their upcoming sophmore album. Changing directions, once again, the band is attempting to simplify their new songs, which is in contrast to some prior material the band had been performining at summer festivals. Says bassist Jon Walker:
Things are pretty good for us right now, and we’re pretty happy, and I think that is gonna come out more in these songs. We spent the past year and a half playing a bunch of songs that have weird melodies and weirder phrasings, [and] long words that [frontman] Brendon [Urie] still can’t pronounce all that well. We’re just trying to write songs that we have fun playing.
This news follows announced plans to write/record in a cabin in the mountains of Nevada, a plea to enlist producer Dr. Dre, and the idea to theme the record as a “modern love story”. A release date has not been announced for the band’s follow-up to 2005’s A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out.
