New album details revealed

On November 6, 2008, Taking Back Sunday revealed in Rolling Stone that their fourth studio album was to be titled New Again and would feature the tracks “Winter Passing”, “Lonely Lonely”, “Catholic Knees”, and “Carpathia”. They stated that “Winter Passing” was “… a slow dance like the last song at your 8th grade dance [that] moves more like an R&B tune than a rock and roll song”, and that “Carpathia” will include the first bass solos in any Taking Back Sunday song. They also commented that “Catholic Knees” is “one of the heavier songs we’ve ever written”, and that “Lonely Lonely” is “relentless – two and a half minutes of punching you in the face”. In the build-up to the release of New Again , the band released a number of tracks—the first of which was “Carpathia”—on December 21, 2008, as free digital downloads to those who purchased the band’s Christmas holiday set , with a physical limited vinyl release of the track as well as a live version of “Catholic Knees” released on April 18, 2009. The title track “New Again” followed as a free single download from the band’s website on April 16, 2009, followed by the first full single “Sink into Me”, released on April 20, 2009, premiering on BBC Radio 1 ‘s Zane Lowe show, and being made available digitally short after. On May 16, 2009, “Everything Must Go” was released to stream on the band’s MySpace . Every Monday, the band released a new song on their MySpace from New Again labeling it “New Music Monday”.
