Aaron Manogue: Tell me about your upcoming album "Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray."Shaun Morgan: It's basically a culmination of 3 years worth of writing that represents the best of the 35-40 songs that we ended up writing for this album. It started out as a 10-track album, which grew to a 12-track album, and it's something we're really proud of.
Manogue: Can fans expect the same Seether sound and feel to the upcoming album or did you go in a different direction?
Shaun: I think every album we do something a little different, so people who know the band will know that there will be some interesting stuff. We don't want ourselves, or our audience, to grow bored with the music we create.
Manogue: What are you most proud of personally in this album?
Shaun: I'm proud of the whole album. There really isn't any one particular aspect of the album that makes me more or less proud than another. I really believe that we have created a solid rock album and that is all I set out to do.
Manogue: "Country Song" is your fifth single to go number one in the band’s career. What does that mean to you and the band to have such continued success over your careers?
Shaun: Obviously we are extremely happy that we can still write music that we enjoy, and that people want to listen to. After 10 years that seems surreal, but I know how hard we work on each album, and how satisfying it is when that work pays off. It's really incredible.
Shaun: Brendan is a world-class producer, who worked with us to help us write the best album we possibly could. He's a band's producer, in that he works with a band, and not the band working for the producer. We really enjoyed working with him, and we feel we have found the right producer for this band.
Manogue: Are you excited to get back out on the road and promote the new album?
Shaun: Of course we are, touring is what this band loves to do. The only way to take this music to the fans is to hit the road and play every city we can. Thank you for the continued support! See you out on the road.
