Bracket began hinting towards the possibility of a new album on its official Facebook page in February 2010, but the members had yet to reconvene until later that year. Following some advance preparation, the band (along with Tinney guesting on select tracks) played a one-off show in Marin County on November 26, 2010. Bracket announced plans for a seventh studio album in June 2011. They posted regular updates to Facebook over the next several years which detailed each stage of the recording process and also expressed interest in self-releasing the new material. After lying unreleased for 17 years, Bracket issued its lost third album Like You Know as a digital download through their Bandcamp page on January 7, 2013. This marked the first time the songs would officially appear together with their original sequencing and mixes. They also released the rarities collection Rare Cuts (in three separate installments) which included compilation tracks, B-sides , demo recordings and alternate versions of songs spanning their entire catalog. The sale of these digital only releases helped to finance their home recording sessions and a physical format pressing of the upcoming album. Requiem was made available for free streaming on the band’s Bandcamp page in October 2013. The new album Hold Your Applause was released in August 2014, while progress continues on an additional forthcoming album. On June 30, 2016, Bracket announced a release date of August 5 and unveiled the cover for their next album, titled The Last Page. The album will consist of the lone track “Warren’s Song Part 28” and will clock in at over 70 minutes long. This is Bracket’s eighth full-length album, and their first since 2014’s Hold Your Applause.
