It will be the first new music from the band since 2007′s Exile on Mainstream, a retrospective of Matchbox Twenty’s hits that also contained six new songs.

According to their label, Atlantic Records, the band is once again working in the studio with Matt Serletic, who has produced all of their studio albums (Yourself or Someone Like You, Mad Season, More Than You Think You Are, Exile on Mainstream) plus both of Thomas’ solo releases (…Something to Be and Cradlesong).

According to another tweet from Thomas last week, he and the band were in the middle of planning all promotional support for the album, which will includes a tour.
