Paramore’s highly anticipated tour announcement comes 5 years after the release of the band’s most recent album After Laughter. Frontman and lead singer Williams has since released 2 solo EP’s: Petals for Armor in 2020 and Flowers for Vases/Descansos in 2021.
According to NME, the band revealed that they’ve been back in the studio working on their next album since January 2022. Williams, along with guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro, completed early songwriting in Nashville and have since relocated to a studio in California. Williams and York explained that while they’ve been reminiscing on their earlier influences it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be releasing a “comeback ’emo’ record”. Williams said, “I’m always waiting for the moment for us to know we’re onto something new and we’re not just rehashing the same shit.”
