In a recent interview Shiflett spoke about their involvement in the recording of the album: "They play drums between the two of them on the new record," Shiflett said. "They're both such ridiculous drummers that they just listen to the song and play it the right way and it's better than anything you could've thought of.

Harmony And Dissidence is scheduled for release in the UK on 3 November and the band will play a number of UK tour dates to coincide with the release. Sadly neither Grohl or Hawkins will be part of the live band.
