As the release for their long-awaited new album approaches, Lifetime's Dan Yemin has posted a new blog discussing the sound of the record as well as filling out the list of record release shows.

We have a new album coming out in two weeks. We wrote the songs in 6months, as opposed to the two years it took to write "Jersey's BestDancers". We recorded the album in three weeks, as opposed to the three daysit took to record "Hello Bastards". As you can see, some things aredifferent, and some things are the same.I feel like the music, andrelationships between the five of us that fuel that music, have remainedmuch the same, but hopefully have matured too. Same old super-fast hardcorepop songs. Same weird mix of Gorilla Biscuits, Jawbreaker, Green Day, ElvisCostello & the Attractions, 7 Seconds, Dag Nasty. Sameless-obvious-but-no-less-intense obsessions with the Smiths, the Cure,Superchunk, Weezer. Same themes of love and loss, & love of music. Newthemes as well.
