Taking Back Sunday have inked a deal with Hopeless Records, home to bands like All Time Low, Yellowcard, and The Wonder Years, and will release their sixth album in the spring of 2014 through the label.

The group just began pre-production in Long Island today with Mike Sapone, and previously recorded a batch of tracks in Michigan with producer Marc Hudson.

This marks Taking Back Sunday's return to an independent label, after three consecutive major label releases, and will be their first time partnering with Hopeless. Most recently, the band self-released a live acoustic album, TAYF10.

Check out a tweet from Hopeless:
