lowercase people records set to release new Switchfoot album

THE NEW Switchfoot album 'Hello Hurricane' is set for October release. Said the group's frontman Jon Foreman, "We built our own studio so we wouldn't be paying and playing by the hour. That's why we see this album as a new beginning of sorts. 'Hello Hurricane' acknowledges the storms that tear through our lives. This album is an attempt to respond to those storms with an element of hope, trying to understand what it means to be hopeful in a world that keeps on spinning."

'Hello Hurricane' is the seventh studio album from the band and the first of four produced in the same sessions. It was co-produced by the band and Mike Elizondo, after initial test runs with producers such as Ken Andrews and Charlie Peacock. It is to be released on 6th October 2009 on their independent record label, lowercase people records.
