Dashboard Confessional fans rejoice: The band has entered the studio with producer Adam Schlesinger to begin work on album number six.

Chris Carrabba wrote a blog entry to update us on the recording process, which is currently in its first steps. "I took a vacation from my social obligations to write songs and before I knew it I had a batch that was new and intriguing and best of all connected to each other," Carrabba said. "I have missed you though while I have been working on this music, but I have discovered along the way that it is best for me to push all things to the periphery while in pursuit of new songs. If I don't, I worry too much about some imagined consequence that pulls the song I am working on in an unnatural direction."

Dashboard's last effort, The Shade of Poison Trees, was just released in late 2007. Looks like Mr. Carrabba still has much more to whine sing about.

Curious about a release date for the currently untitled disc? "Who knows how long these things will take. The process is an adventure and a mystery in and of itself," Carrabba explained.
