Jimmy Eat World is in the final stages of work on their sixth studio album and follow up to 2004's Futures and 2005's Stay on My Side Tonight EP.

Frontman Jim Adkins explained:

We have a mix date set for May 28th. Yes, there is light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. We just spent a week in Los Angeles tweaking out a few songs and stalking Tony from Sparta (we know what Starbucks you go to now, homz).

We re-cut drums and bass for a song called "Here It Goes" with producer, John Fields. We will be working on art and getting all our new stage costumes together soon. How does human size banana suits sound? People would definitely ask us less questions about emo then.

This album is being produced by Butch Vig (Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Against Me!)
