"As you get older it's more interesting to have a theme that everything tries to support – I would say this album has a theme," frontman Jim Adkins says.


"I would describe it as an attempt at making an adult breakup record. The consequences to what the characters are going through are more significant. There's just more to it. I'm 37 and the world around me is a lot different than when I was writing breakup songs in my 20s. I tried to reflect that in what the lyrics are."


Damage's title track will be released on April 20 as a 7-inch for Record Store Day, also including a cover of Radiohead’s 'Stop Whispering'.


Produced by Alain Johannes, the forthcoming album is the follow-up to 2010’s Invented.
