Plain White T's Announce Wonders of the Younger

Hollywood Records have set an October 19th release date for Plain White T's new album Wonders of the Younger.
Plain White T's frontman Tom Higgenson describes the Ian Kirkpatrick-produced Wonders of the Younger as a collection of songs designed to evoke the feeling of awe and the yearning for adventure remembered from youth.
"It's still very much a Plain White T's album," says Higginson. "The songs are sincere and melodic, no matter what the subject matter. We want to create an experience that takes our fans to an unexpected place while still giving them songs to sing along to."
As Higgenson points out, the band is in a different place than the one that prompted hits like the twice-Grammy nominated "Hey There Delilah" and "1-2-3-4" (two songs that combined for over 5 million digital downloads) and though there's still plenty of room in their world for romantic pop, such as first single "Rhythm of Love" penned and sung by guitarist Tim Lopez (the brightly melodic tune was inspired by a bittersweet romance) they're also branching into some adventurous new territory. It was during a performance of Cirque du Soleil's "O" he caught during a Vegas visit that the idea for the new set first took shape. "It just woke something up in me – this wonder," the singer/guitarist/songwriter recalls. "It was dark yet nostalgic. I thought, I want to make an album that gives people this feeling." Lead single "Rhythm of Love" has just broken into the Top 20 and is moving up the charts. The song's companion video, directed by the band's long time videographer Mike Venezia ("1,2,3,4") and shot on the beach in Ventura, CA, is currently in Gung Ho rotation on VH1 and spinning on MTVu and MTV Hits.
