Enigk began writing for the album in early 2005, although some songs had their genesis as early as the mid-90s. Along with co-producer Josh Myers, he started recording late last year and anticipates being finished by the end of this month. While the final track listing has yet to be determined, some dozen songs have been recorded with working titles such as "World Waits," "Canons," "River to Sea," "All Been Said," and "Freeway, and Enigk hints that the overall sound of the new album will be similar to, but not quite as explosive, as the lush orchestral sounds of "Frog Queen." With Enigk on guitar, keyboards and bass, musicians on the album include Myers on keyboards, Nick Macri on bass, and Mark Swanson, Kannah Tupper, Matt Johnson, Casey Foubert and James McAlister on drums. Enigk is also using a string section on a number of tracks.
