Grandaddy have told Billboard that they are currently at the finishing touch stage of their new full length album, 'Just Like The Fambly Cat', but are in the meantime to release an EP (or mini-album, which is what people seem to be calling them a lot these days) 'The Excerpts From The Diary of Todd Zilla' on 3 Oct.
Speaking about the new album, which the band have spent more than a year and a half recording, frontman Jason Lytle said "It's really big and luscious and gooey. It's an extreme of everything. The immersion that each song required was insane; it was very time consuming, but it's done this week."
On the EP he continued: "It just seemed like a good idea. I mean, it has been so long since the last album, so rather than barge in on someone's house unannounced we thought we'd rather call on the phone, and say, 'We're coming over.' That's what the EP does."
