Speaking to Rolling Stone recently, Cox revealed that the Atlanta group have been recording the follow-up to 2010′s Halcyon Digest in Brooklyn with Microcastle producer Nicolas Vernhes.

The singer also revealed that they’ve narrowed down up to 250 songs to around 12 tracks for what will be their fifth studio release.
