Working on new music

In April 2019, DeLeon confirmed that the Cab was working on new music. In January 2020, a new song was teased on Twitter along with an announcement of a new album in the works. In April 2024, the band announced that they had finished making the album and teased a new song “Running Late”. The group re-issued Whisper War as a vinyl on April 29, for the album’s 16-year anniversary. In October 2024, the band announced their comeback as a part of the 2025 When We Were Young Festival lineup. Prior to the announcement, DeLeon reached out to Marhsall and their managers about performing at the festival that was taking place in their hometown, which DeLeon described the moment as “too perfect.” Reflecting on the hiatus, Marshall said, “We had been touring extensively […] And I think for both of us, we had been road dogs for so long that we were burned out. ‘We need to take a pause on this for a bit’.”
