They break this habit on the new one, if only slightly: it's called \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIII\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. According to a press release, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIII\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e marks the first time band member Ethan Kath has taken full responsibility for the album's production (Alice Glass is singing as always). \"We wanted the new album to sound like a completely different and new experience,\" says Kath. “We'd limit ourselves to one take on each song because we believe the first take is the rawest expression of an idea.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIII\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was recorded mostly in Warsaw and Berlin.
