Fall Out Boy announce So Much (for) Stardust, their first album in five years

Fall Out Boy have dropped a video for new song “Love From the Other Side.” It’s the first release from So Much (for) Stardust, the band’s first new album since the release of 2018's Mania. Watch the video, complete with Pete Wentz in full old man makeover, below.

So Much (for) Stardust will be released on March 24 and seems to represent a back to basics pivot for the emo band. It will be released on Fueled By Ramen, their first time releasing an album on that famed label since 2003 debut Take This to Your Grave. They also reunited with producer Neal Avron, who worked on their previous records From Under the Cork Tree, Infinity on High, and Folie à Deux, all released between 2005-2008.

"Our band has been an ongoing art project for twenty years and we know there have been many inception points along that journey,” Wentz says in a statement. “We wanted to create an album that merged those points together – something new, but carved from our foundation. Fueled By Ramen and Elektra seemed like the perfect home for this.”

Lead singer Patrick Stump adds: “Technology has made it really easy to make records much more quickly these days. There’s nothing wrong with that, and that spontaneity can be exciting. But we wanted to get back to the way we used to work. We wanted to make a record that was really lovingly crafted and deliberate and patiently guided – like someone cooked you a delicate meal. I’m not a very proud guy, but I’m pretty proud of this record.”
