Posted by aubin on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 at 6:00 PM (EST)

According to a Pitchfork report, Portland's Thermals are already planning the release of their upcoming fifth album. The follow up to 2009's Now We Can See is apparently expected September 7th, 2010 via Kill Rock Stars.

In December, the trio will head into Portland's Jackpot Studios with Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla producing. The record also marks the recorded debut of drummer Westin Glass..

And don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the other albums and think they put on a great live show.

I liked Now We Can See a lot.

ZappBrannigan (November 26, 2009)

They have gotten better and better with each release, so I hope so too.

I have a friend that is really into these guys, but I could never really get into them.. or Death Cab For Cutie, for that matter.

this band sounds absolutely nothing like Death Cab for Cutie.

TheMike (November 25, 2009)

Chris Walla is a pretty good producer. I would say that's a good sign.

TheMike (November 25, 2009)

This really should be a reply to the first post, but I got distracted by your mention of Death Cab. I'm coming down with the stupid this week.

a bit harsh.
its not like you quoted Step Brothers or anything.

LinoleumMagazine (November 25, 2009)

Seriously. I'm at work and I'm bored as shit. Tell wonton to un-ban me. please!

Blackjaw_ (November 25, 2009)

It was 14theroad, actually. He did it as a joke. Doubt it'll last long.

LinoleumMagazine (November 25, 2009)

I didn't think he was a mod. He set it for three two hours and I'm at work for another hour and a half. I could care less after that, but right now I"m bored and have exhausted my interent surfing.

put in a good word for me will ya!

Step Brothers >>>>>>>>>> Talladega Nights

seroiusly

ffwoodycooks (November 25, 2009)

im not really a fan of either but, Step Brothers is the only movie ive ever walked out on. i thought that movie was so shit.

SloaneDaley (November 25, 2009)

Now We Can See is a really good album, I didn't like it much at first but it grew on me. Great album to listen to at work.

jeremythunder (November 25, 2009)

hope it's more consistent than Now We Can See. Half amazing, half mediocre doesn't cut it when your last album had only one mediocre song (Back to the Sea, who the fuck liked that song)

Disagree completely, Now We Can See is damn near perfect. TBTBTM is great on the first half, weak on the second...but Back to the Sea is still good.

InaGreendase (brian) (November 25, 2009)

That is a bizarrely far-set street date.

So there's their future.....
