Matchbox Twenty to release first album in a decade

The band, led by Rob Thomas, will put out its first album since 2002's More Than You Think You Are in September.

Titled North, the new album will be the band's fourth. It was written in Nashville and recorded in California, aided by the hand of regular producer Matt Serletic.

Guitarist Paul Doucette told Rolling Stone, “The title refers to us finding our way... “We went into this record with a lot of material. Many different songs that could have taken us in many different directions. It sort of overwhelmed us for a bit. But, at a certain point, we figured it out. We figured out where North was.”

The album is released September 4, and the first single will be "She's So Mean".
