Speaking to The Atlana Journal earlier this year, band singer Fred Schneider explained: “This is where we started, so it just feels right to be making this record here. We’ve loved recording at Nickel And Dime Studios, too. There are no distractions there. Once you’re in Avondale, you’re in Avondale. I love the Salvation Army there. I’ve found some great records there.”

The B-52’s have also announced their first headline shows at which they will preview their new poppier material.
