NEW YORK, June 27 (UPI) -- It took more than a year to make but Dashboard Confessional leader Chris Carrabba says the group's new album was worth it.
Carrabba started working on "Dusk and Summer," Dashboard Confessional's fourth album, in late 2004 in his Florida apartment. Subsequent recording was done throughout 2005 and earlier this year with producers Daniel Lanois (U2, Bob Dylan) and Don Gilmore, who produced "Vindicated," Dashboard's contribution to the "Spider-Man 2" album.
The group recorded 20 songs, and while the process was long, Carrabba claims that it "wasn't laborious. It was, 'I'm gonna keep at this until I find what I know is there.' And since I love doing it, although there were frustrating days, it was never a laborious process. It was just, like, honestly the best year ever.
"I can't get away with pulling that move again," he added, "although I wish I could do it every time."
