Ferret Music will release Maylene and the Sons of Disaster IV on September 27, 2011. Frontman Dallas Taylor, recently interviewed by SPB, had this to say on the record:
As humans, we play things so safe and everything "makes sense" or is "figured out" and is how it's supposed to be...I hope it will make people question their lives and how they do things, and make people realize what they have. It is definitely a new band now with a new drive. This is the most serious thing we've ever done and the most grown-up record I've ever made in my life. I think it will surprise a lot of people who were into Maylene before.It is a very dark record, but it's the most truthful and heartfelt thing I have done in my life.
