Fall Out Boy Return with "Love from The Other Side" Single & Announce New Album So Much (for) Stardust (Fueled By Ramen/DCD2/Elektra)
"'Time is luck..." Finish another tour. You reflect, but not like a gem in the sun—more like a year-long stare in yourself in a mirroe in aother airplane bathroom. Sometimes, you gotta blow up everything you were and put the pieces back together in a new shape. The same, but different—the foundation dynamited and the dust used to create the concrete pour. I have a tendencey to get a little sad whenever I think about anything... but I, also, feel pure joy when I think that I exist at the same time as whales or that bread happens to rise at a certain temperature. And that we happen to be spinning on this little blue rock at the exact same time together. So much (for) stardust," reads a note signed P.S., P.W., J.T., and A.H., also known as Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz,
So, there's a lot to unpack there... but the crux of the matter is that we're getting a new Fall Out Boy album entitled So Much (for) Stardust this March! It's their eighth studio album, foruth produced by Neal Avron (Everclear, Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, Say Anything, Yellowcard,) and first for Fueled By Ramen since their 2003 debut, Take This to Your Grave. Avron previosuly produced Fall Out Boy's chart-topping albums and massively beloved From Under The Cork Tree, Infinity On High, and Folie à Deux, all consecutively reelased between 2005-08. Fall Out Boy have been teasing something for quite some time now and along with the news of So Much (for) Stardust formerly known as #FOB8, are sharing its first single, "Love from The Other Side," simultanously across the world today: Berlin at 4:00pm CEST, London at 3:00pm GMT, Cape Town at 5:00pm SAST, São Paulo at 12:00pm BST, New York at 10:00am EST, Chicago at 9:00am CST, Los Angeles at 7:00am PST and tomorrow, January 19th: Tokyo at 12:00am JST and Sydney at 2:00am AEDT, as well as direct to radio in all of the aforementioned places.
Plus, all of this was accompanied by a truly outlandish "Love from The Other Side" music video that seemingly echoes themes teased across Fall Out Boy's social media pages (@falloutboy) in recent weeks. It shows an elderly Pete Wentz reading his granddaughter a bedtime story, which is, of course, all about Fall Out Boy, Emo Island, The Big City, and, you guessed it, "Love from The Other Side... of The Apocalypse. We'll just let you expereince it for yourself, but
"Technology has made it really easy to make records much more quickly these days. There's nothing wrong with that and that spontaneity can be exciting," Stump said within a press release. "But we wanted to get back to the way we used to work. We wanted to make a record that was really lovingly crafted and deliberate and patiently guided—like someone cooked you a delicate meal. I'm not a very proud guy, but I'm pretty proud of this record." So, there we have it, Patrick Stump, admittedly "not a very proud guy," is "pretty proud" of So Much (for) Stardust. It's now available to pre-order in a number of packages, including multi-colored vinyl, T-shirts, hoodies, CD, cassette tape, and various signed box sets. "Love from The Other Side" is now available for your listening pleasure on your streaming service of choice. Fall Out Boy's So Much (for) Stardust is out 3/24 on Fueled By Ramen/DCD2/Elektra.
