Go (Motion City Soundtrack album)
''Go'' is the fifth studio album by American rock band Motion City Soundtrack. Produced by Ed Ackerson and the band themselves, the album was released on June 12, 2012, in the United States by Epitaph Records and the band's own label, The Boombox Generation. Previously, the group had released their major-label debut, ''My Dinosaur Life'' (2010) on Columbia; the band parted ways with the label due to the record's lackluster commercial response. Following this, the band returned to their home of Minneapolis, Minnesota, with producer and longtime friend Ed Ackerson. The band entered a local studio and recorded their next effort on their own time and finances. The band recorded ''Go'' without a label, and put it upon themselves to pay for mixing and mastering and have conversations with distributors later.
Frontman Justin Pierre composed the lyrics for ''Go'', which is themed around mortality, growing older, and learning to live in the moment. The reflective tone includes subjects such as procrastination, relationship miscommunication, and optimism, but also personal struggles such as the death of loved ones. Many songs on ''Go'' were developed over years at a time, and several date to the band's first few studio albums. Musically, the album retains the band's pop-rock, Moog-based sound, with a heavier emphasis on electronic experimentation. Following the album's recording, the band entered talks with Epitaph Records, where they were signed from 2003 to 2008. Discussions with label founder Brett Gurewitz led the band to re-sign with Epitaph, who co-released ''Go'' alongside the band's own label, The Boombox Generation. It is the final album by the band to feature long-time drummer Tony Thaxton before he announced his departure on March, 20th, 2013.
''Go'' received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics, and peaked at number eight on ''Billboard'' Independent Albums chart. "True Romance" was the album's lead single, and featured a one-shot music video reminiscent of the works of Spike Jonze.
==Background==
In 2010, Motion City Soundtrack released their fourth studio album, ''My Dinosaur Life'', on Columbia Records. The band had signed to the label two years prior, and it was the band’s major-label debut. The album peaked at number 15 on the ''Billboard'' 200, representing a career best, and earned strong reviews.〔 However, Columbia dropped the band later that year,〔 with the commercial performance of ''My Dinosaur Life'' leading to the split. "I guess we didn't do as well as they hoped or expected us to," said Pierre that year.〔 "And we felt that having all their resources at our disposal would perhaps propel us into another dimension. But we are what we are regardless of what label or machine is behind us. We did exceptionally well, though, if you want to look strictly at sales numbers in today's climate."
