Ken Andrews mixing new Paramore album

It has been announced that Ken Andrews of Failure and Year of the Rabbit fame will be the person mixing the new Paramore album.

Since the break ups of Failure and Year of the Rabbit, Andrews has worked as a producer and engineer, working with the likes of Blink-182, Copeland, Jimmy Eat World, Nine Inch Nails, Tenacious D, Tool, and Unwritten Law.

The new Paramore album was recorded with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (The Mars Volta, Linkin Park, Beck), and it will be released at some stage in 2013.

The band's vocalist Hayley Williams provided the following update:

"Basically, we'll be "off" and "on" for the next little while putting together all the pieces that will be in your very hands before you know it. It's been, what, 3 years since we put out an album? Life at home, alone with my thoughts is cool and all but it feels like my brain is swelling up inside my head. I think I need to do something besides cooking healthy meals and fixing up Martha Stewart paper-craft decor for each holiday season."

Paramore will be making the trip to Australia once again in February next year, as a part of the Soundwave 2013 festival, as well as playing one exclusive headlining show in Sydney.
