Hoppus Talks About New Blink 182 Album: "Dark" and "Expansive"

In a new interview with MTV, Blink182‘s bassist Mark Hoppus gave some more cryptic details about their highly anticipated new album:

“We’ve gone through a lot of really heavy stuff over the past few years. … There’s plenty of heavy stuff to write about. I think in moments it will [be dark]. We’re still just barely getting into the whole writing process. We have about three or four songs done. I wouldn’t say it’s going to be a dark record; I think it’s really an expansive record. There’s stuff that sounds like what we were doing on the last Blink record, and there’s stuff that sounds like what we were doing 10 years ago and stuff that we’ve never done before.”

Of course, some of the dark and heavy stuff that has happened to them over the last few years includes the deaths of longtime producer Jerry Finn and friends Chris Baker and DJ AM.

The band last released their untitled effort in 2003.
