In early 2009, Saosin worked with producer Butch Walker (Sevendust, Fall Out Boy, P!nk) which resulted in 5 songs on In Search Of Higher Ground. They also worked with John Feldman (The Used, Good Charlotte, Story Of The Year) who produced 2 tracks and with Lucas Banker/Logan Mader (Five Finger Death Punch, Soulfly, Machine Head) on 1 album track. Band guitarist Beau Burchell mixed all songs on In Search of Higher Ground.
Touching both the anthemic and the intimate, "I Keep My Secrets Safe" and "Deep Down" are early-album keynotes, and the style of IN SEARCH OF SOLID GROUND, both finessed and hammer-fisted, emerges in the moody, insightful and unsparing "Changing," "The Alarming Sound of a Still Small Voice," "It's All Over Now," "What Were We Made For?" and "On My Own." Along the way are royal kiss-offs like "Why Can't You See" and "Say Goodbye," a balladic "Nothing Is What It Seems," and the complex, building 8:30 album closer "Fireflies."
Saosin will play the balance of this summer's 2009 Vans Warped Tour (full schedule below).
