The Ataris will release a new album in early 2009, which will apparently be a return to their "Blue Skies, Broken Hearts - Next 12 Exits" sound. Here's what the band had to say about the record:

"the songs are coming along awesome! Have about 10-15 new songs and hope to write a handful more before finally recording in the fall. Still working on a bit more lyrics, Have a lot written but just need to piece them all together now.

Music is just very melodic, raw, catchy, upbeat, sing along rock songs... Kinda like Minneapolis in a train wreck with early 90's Chapel Hill passed out drunk in the alley behind Gilman ST."
