As a payback to the fans, Dashboard Confessional returns to his roots with The Shade of Poison Trees that was recorded back in his home state of Florida in early 2007. With familiar song structures and lyrical content reminiscent of earlier releases, the new album presents a great opportunity to reconnect with the core base as the artist"s mainstream appeal continues to broaden. The new release will coincide with a solo headlining tour with Augustana and fellow label mate John Ralston beginning on September 28th.
