The Story So Far have returned with their new album "I Want To Disappear". Consisting of ten songs, it contains everything that has brought them international recognition and success since their formation. The current line-up consists of Parker Cannon (vocals), Kevin Geyer (lead guitar, keyboards), Ryan Torf (drums, rhythm guitar and keyboards) and Will Levy (guitars).

When it comes to the album, it's hard for the band to say what inspired them to write the songs, but for the four of them, there was a lot going on both personally and professionally. "We kind of grew out of our 20s between this album and the last one," says Peat. "Like a lot of people, you go through so many different things in life and are faced with new challenges. As a band, when you go through tough times, you realize that some things are more important than music. These can and do take precedence over playing, and that can be divisive. However, sometimes it's necessary to get to where you want to go."

"We were waiting for all the stars to align properly for our individual situations," Geyer adds, "so that this album could take precedence and we had the time and space to make it happen the way we wanted it to. We've been through a lot as people and as a band to figure out what works about it and put our money on it."

"If we had rushed it," says Levy, "or tried to fit into a certain mold, it would sound like that. But we challenged ourselves. There's a benchmark in our minds of what our band should sound like."

Recorded and mixed by Jon Markson at The Animal Farm Studio in Flemington, NJ, "I Want To Disappear" opens with the frenetic one-two punch of "All This Time" and "Watch You Go," while songs like "Jump The Gun," "Big Blind" and "Nothing To Say" contain the signature urgency of classic The Story So Far songs. The album ends with "White Shores" and "I Want To Disappear," which show their growth both as a band and as people.

"We're always just trying to make something that we love and that feels like it's relevant to where we're at in life," Peat says. "We've already done so much in the past, but we wanted this to seem like the current thing that we are. We tried to make something that we feel connected to and that we hope our fans will enjoy. But first and foremost, it's just something we're proud of and feel good about."
