Deemed by Alternative Press Magazine as one of the most anticipated releases of 2009, In Search of Solid Ground is the follow-up to Saosin's 2006 self-titled full-length debut, which bowed at No. 22 on The Billboard 200 and peaked at No. 7 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums chart.
In Search Of Solid Ground embarks on a new journey with universal themes - mankind's search for truth and meaning, the fragility of relationships, the pain implicit in growth and goodbyes - from a fresh perspective.
The first single "Changing" reached #28 on the Alternative Radio charts and the video was spun on MTVu and Music Choice. Saosin last toured the states as headliner of the 2nd Annual PacSun Tour with innerpartysystem, POS, and Eye Alaska. They also spent last summer on the Van's Warped Tour.
In Search of Solid Ground is the end product of months of writing, tracking and mix sessions which Saosin fans were able to witness online in real time, with songs written and tracks demoed in the Costa Mesa, CA studio of global youth brand Hurley, where they self-produced several final album tracks.
In early 2009, Saosin worked with producer Butch Walker (Sevendust, Fall Out Boy, P!nk) which resulted in 5 songs on In Search Of Solid Ground. They also worked with John Feldman (The Used, Good Charlotte, Story Of The Year) who produced 2 tracks and with Lucas Banker/Logan Mader (Five Finger Death Punch, Soulfly, Machine Head) on 1 album track. Band guitarist Beau Burchell mixed all songs on In Search of Solid Ground.
Saosin is comprised of Cove Reber (vocals), Chris Sorenson (bass), Alex Rodriguez (drums), Justin Shekoski (guitar) and Beau Burchell (guitar).
