After parting ways with Universal Records and signing with 429 Records, Smash Mouth released their sixth studio album titled Magic , on September 4, 2012. The album was primarily produced by new band member Mike Krompass. The first single, also entitled “Magic”, debuted on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart at No. 22. The band spent the rest of 2012 touring behind the new project as well as promoting the release of their musical book of food recipes and things of the like — Recipes from the Road . Cooke temporarily left again toward the end of 2012, replaced by Paxson. In 2013 the band took part in the “Under the Sun” tour with Gin Blossoms and Sugar Ray . Paxson left in July during the tour, and was initially going to be replaced by a returning Cooke; however, he was replaced by Sutter once again. Tod Burr, former drum tech of Def Leppard and drummer of Merle Jagger, came on board in 2012 as drum and keyboard tech of Smash Mouth.
