Ben Folds Five confirm new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 27 January 2012
Ben Folds Five were a little coy about the prospect of a reunion last year. Folds told Spinner in September that after sessions to record three new songs for the singer-songwriter’s forthcoming career retrospective compilation went well, they would “probably” regroup for a full album. And earlier this week Folds confirmed it, announcing via Twitter that recording sessions had begun.
He tweeted: “It’s happening fo sho – day one in studio with Robert [Sledge, bass] and Darren [Jesse, drums] through March #NewBenFoldsFiveRecord”.
The album will be the band’s first since 1999’s ‘The Unauthorized Biography Of Reinhold Messner’.
