Thrice frontman recording new solo album

Dustin Kensrue, frontman of Thrice, has announced his second solo album, due early next year through Staple Records/Vagrant Records.

Kensrue made the following comments about the album:

Recording right now is for me the end of a long distilling process. I always have bits and pieces of songs that are bouncing around in my head. I usually record them and listen back later, and most of the time I can’t remember why I even bothered to record them in the first place. But then there are the tunes that stick – the ones I find running over and over through my head, demanding to be finished. Begging for a home. The most persistent of these tunes from the past 8 years are what I’m busy recording right now, and there’s nothing I’d rather be doing.
