Back in 2018, Loeffler said that he wrote “about 25 songs” for the band’s next disc, but that only eight had been recorded at that point at Joe’s House Of Compression studio in Pasadena, California with producer Joe Barresi (KYUSS, MELVINS, THE JESUS LIZARD).
In a 2019 radio station interview he said that “things take longer than we thought” and that the band would take a few more months to make sure the record came out “that much better.” He also spoke about his previous comment that CHEVELLE‘s next album was turning out to be a more melodic affair than “The North Corridor”.
“I mean, that’s the thing,” he said. “You wake up… Everyone has to choose. You’re, like, ‘Am I gonna be in a good or a bad mood today?’ At least in my family, we do… So, on the last two albums, it’s been, like, I woke up and I was, like, ‘I wanna play heavy shit.’ And that’s where we’ve been. But, honestly, the music is way more melodic on this one.”
“The North Corridor” debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 album chart and produced a No. 1 Mainstream Rock single, “Joyride (Omen)”.
The band’s album of rarities from 2002-2016, “12 Bloody Spies: B-Sides And Rarities”, was released in October 2018 via Epic.
