The follow-up to 2015's
Black Lines,
Sunnyland is Mayday Parade's sixth studio long-player and their first outing for Rise Records. The band utilized the talents of a host of different producers during the 13-track album's creation, including John Feldmann (
blink-182,
5 Seconds of Summer), Howard Benson (
3 Doors Down,
My Chemical Romance), and Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount, the latter two of whom had worked with the band on previous records. Taking its name from a spooky abandoned hospital in Tallahassee,
Sunnyland includes the singles "Piece of Your Heart" and "It's Hard to Be Religious When Certain People Are Never Incinerated by Bolts of Lightning." ~ James Christopher Monger
