Paramore Dish Update On Their New Album

Yo, Paramore fans! Good news! Front-dudette Hayley Williams has just served up a juicy little update on that new album we’ve all been waiting for.

ICYMI: the band recently reunited (sort-of) with their OG drummer Zac Farro and have been hard at work recording album number 5, the follow-up to their mega 2013 self-titled LP Paramore.

And it sounds — from the past tencey-ness of the pop punk kween’s new Insty post — a helluva lot like the disc is in the can.

“About a year ago, we began writing & demoing songs for #5,” Williams writes. “Following up our self-titled album didn’t seem like it was going to be an easy task and, unsurprisingly, it was not.”

She continues:

“The problem about comparing yourself to… yourself… is that even though it’s better than looking elsewhere, you’re still looking in the wrong direction. for me, it wasn’t until i trusted that the past is finished with me that i could go looking for what’s next. our pasts can be a great comforter, or a horror movie; a noose, or a shield… but it is ‘past’ for a reason. after a rest, we have to go looking for what’s supposed to come after that. – h”

So there you go. ~Decode~ that y’all. Could she possibly be hinting at a new musical direction?

Either way, seems like LP #5 will be out this year for sure.
