Minus The Bear have entered the studio to begin work on their highly anticipated fourth studio album, still untitled. The band has enlisted with Grammy Award-winning producer Joe Chicarelli (My Morning Jacket, The White Stripes) and are planning to self-finance their new album, "giving them full control in an evolving industry." The band plans on releasing their new album on a yet to be announced record label.

The band released Planet of Ice in 2007 and are aiming for a fall release for the sequel.
