After its tour, Jimmy Eat World headed home to Tempe and started working on material for a sixth album. The band decided to self-produce the album, enlisting Chris Testa ( Dixie Chicks ) and John Fields ( Switchfoot , Mandy Moore ) as co-producers and Butch Vig ( Nirvana , Garbage , The Smashing Pumpkins , Green Day ) as executive producer. As Burch explained to the St. Petersburg Times , “[Vig’s] role wasn’t in the studio everyday. We would send Butch samples of what we were doing every couple of days.” Chase This Light was released on October 16, 2007, with ” Big Casino ” as the lead single. ” Always Be ” was the last single off the album, released in December 2007.
