Album Info

 brand new eyes is the third studio album from rock band Paramore. It was recorded in the Hidden Hills of California from January to March and was produced by Rob Cavallo The title "Brand New Eyes" was based on a track that was later cut from the album and means "seeing everything in a whole new perspective". The first single from the album was "Ignorance" which became available via digital download on July 7, on the same date the album became available for preorder on paramore.net. "Brick by Boring Brick" will be the expected second single from the album.

Two versions of the album will be available; a standard CD edition as well as a deluxe package which will have a limited release of 15,000 copies and include the album on CD, a 40-page hardcover journal, Hayley Williams’ handwritten lyrics and notes on the album, a colour vinyl 7" single with two acoustic songs and a DVD featuring an exclusive 'making-of' documentary.

The band had hoped to be able to record the album in their home of Nashville, Tennessee, but this became impossible. This initially was upsetting, but the band have since admitted that it was for the best. Producer Rob Cavallo's house and the surrounding area were used to create various  webisodes the band posted on their website.

Paramore faced time pressure recording Brand New Eyes, unlike its predecessor Riot! This was because the band was signed on to open for rock/ska band, No Doubt's summer reunion tour.

Paramore have announced that they are going on tour on their official site, with The Swellers and Paper Route joining them as opening acts. The tour will begin in Pomona, California on September 29, 2009 (the day of the album's release.)

The deluxe edition is limited to 15,000 copies and includes the full album with two bonus tracks, a 40-page hardcover journal with Hayely Williams' handwritten lyrics and notes on the album, a yellow colored vinyl 7" single with two songs ("Ignorance" acoustic and "Where the Lines Overlap" acoustic), a DVD featuring an exclusive making-of documentary (with interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, plus rare band vignettes from www.paramore.net), a 16-page full-color booklet, an exclusive Paramore poster, five limited edition collectible Paramore photos printed on hardstock paper, and a numbered certificate of authenticity.
