"Option Paralysis" is due on March 23, 2010. The opus, recorded in Orange County, California with longtime collaborator/producer Steve Evetts (THE USED, GLASSJAW, EVERY TIME I DIE),will be the debut release for the band's brand new label Party Smasher Inc./Season Of Mist. Tracks set to appear on the CD include "Farewell, Mona Lisa", "Good Neighbor", "Gold Teeth On A Bum" and "Crystal Morning".
According to U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine, "Option Paralysis" will feature a guest appearance by 70-year-old Mike Garson, who has previously contributed to DAVID BOWIE's "Aladdin Sane" and NINE INCH NAILS' "The Fragile" albums.
Puciato previously stated about the band's new songs, "Wait 'til you hear what we've got for you now. The vibe when we recorded 'Ire Works' was defined by a feeling of struggle and hope and just staying alive in the face of almost falling apart, feeling triumphant in making it through the previous couple of years, and now the vibe is OK, now we're just gonna fuck everyone up.'"
