The album, set to be released Sept. 13, will be available as both a traditional CD and as a DualDisc featuring the entire album in 5.1 Surround Sound plus exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the band on the road and in the studio.

The new Switchfoot album arrives two years after the release of the group's major label debut, the double-platinum "The Beautiful Letdown," which yielded two Top 5 hit singles -- "Meant to Live" and "Dare You to Move."

"This record was written in back alleys and hotel rooms far from home," says frontman and primary songwriter Jon Foreman, explaining the difference between "Nothing Is Sound" and its predecessor. "It's more eclectic, less settled, with more dissonance. We've tried to capture the emotional ride that happens on stage and put it into the studio."
