From Mark’s Facebook:

What’s up, fine people of Facebook? Good day at the studio today, working with the one they call “Tom” on the new album. Progress is well underway. Lots of different ideas, lots of different sounds. Very broad spectrum on this record so far. Exciting, and I’m excited. I can’t wait till the album is recorded and released, and we can stop TALKING about the songs, and just LISTEN to the music.

Tom: ‘ Making awesome progress on the new Blink album’
