Why haven't we discussed the fact that Paramore will be going back into the studio with Rob Cavallo to record a few songs for an EP that will be released THIS SUMMER????

Paramore’s Hayley Williams has confirmed that the band are planning on releasing new music this summer.

Speaking to AOL Music, Williams confirmed that the band will release an EP this summer before a full-length album is released at a later date. Although few details are confirmed as-of-yet, the record will feature ‘In The Mourning’, an acoustic track which the band premiered on their website soon after the departure of guitarist and drummer Josh and Zac Farro.

She said: "All the details aren't worked out yet, but we definitely do want to release ‘In the Mourning’ and some other ones before we put out a record."

The band will enter the studio after they complete their current South American tour, the first shows that the band have played since the departure of the brothers late last year. The new material will be recorded with Rob Cavallo, who worked on their successful 2009 release ‘Brand New Eyes’.

Williams continued to assert that their eventual full-length release will "definitely have some heavy songs", while it is thought that the EP will contain more acoustic material and digressions from the band’s recognisable pop-punk sound.

You can watch a live version of ‘In The Mourning’ below, which the band performed last Friday (February 19th) in Rio De Janeiro.

Also, Hayley said this to someone on LJ yesterday:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!




That is how I feel.

Hahaha, that's pretty much how I feel too. Hayley said they'll probably do some random other things, which I'm guessing will be random shows, promotion, etc. I hope they come to the East Coast cause I miss them so much.

This is extremely awesome to the core! I can't wait, and the fact that it's during the summer I extra can't wait because summer kicks ass!

I really wish In The Mourning wasn't one of the songs they are going to release. An EP is short enough without not liking one of the songs right off the bat. Also, I'm not sure I like the sound of this "acoustic material and digressions from the band’s recognizable pop-punk sound". I'll have to have a listen to it before I decide whether or not to buy it.

The "acoustic sounding" stuff is just what the writer of the article as speculating, not what Hayley, Jeremy, or Taylor said, so I wouldn't hold them to that part. They've talked about the other demos they've done being much heavier and upbeat, so I'd go more with that. If they want Rob Cavallo producing it, it's not gonna be all acoustic. He's too much of a punk rock producer for that.

I read about this somewhere and I don't know how I wasn't more excited. But hearing about it again now, I'm really looking forward to it. And this 'darker' sound is interesting. Songs like 'Ignorance' were described as darker by some and I loved them so they should be pretty awesome!

Awesome news !

I hope you're right. I like most of the acoustic versions of their songs that they've done so far, so to be honest I wouldn't be to upset if it was something similar to that (although I do still prefer it not to be an acoustic EP). I just don't want an EP full of songs like In The Mourning.

^ Yeah, I'd hope since they're aiming for a summer release, they'd make a more summer-y, upbeat and loud album and not an "it's the middle of winter, it's dark, and I'm depressed" kind of album. That's what I hope anyway.

YES!
They love us they HAVE to come back

Darker I like this. Maybe more like Decode but aimed at the audiences of Cradle of Filth and Slipknot.





Nah jk, But dark deep and deathy.

Maybe.

haha yeah the last thing I'd want to hear is something that makes me think of winter when it's 90 degrees out and I'm enjoying my time off.

[UrLittleDecoy]

why am i reading this just now?
ahhh this is great news

[RenegadeRoss]

I'm really excited about this. With all their songs being life experiences then i fully expect some stuff to be surrounding the departure of Josh and Zac. I firmly believe this is what Hayley means by being "darker" as isnt that what she described Ignorance as?

I'm so glad that they're going for a new sound. Not that I don't LOVE the original paramore, it's going to be amazing to see more of Taylor and Jeremy's take on their music and how they write.

If they are trying a new sound, I'm apprehensive but open minded. A band changing their sound up can often be a good thing and keeps them from becoming stale and repetitive, but sometimes it turns out to be a complete disaster. Here's hoping for the best.

either way, i will be purchasing that EP the day it comes out!

[Wildman]

That's amazing news. I hope that it's heavier and darker and includes death growls from Hayley!
