Dashboard Confessional\u2019s ninth studio album, All The Truth That I Can Tell<\/em>, is both a remarkable renewal and fortunate step forward for the band\u2019s songwriter, front man, and founder, Chris Carrabba. Having ascended great heights over the past 20 years, Carrabba found himself at a distinct crossroads as the last decade came to an end. Running on fumes, unsure if he\u2019d ever release another album, he waited. The songs eventually came, and though the project might\u2019ve easily come to a screeching halt following a near-fatal motorcycle accident in the summer of 2020, All The Truth That I Can Tell<\/em> stands among Carrabba\u2019s finest \u2013 a strikingly potent musical look at himself through a rediscovered keyhole, both an achievement of vision and a vital burst of artistic clarity; less like reading someone\u2019s diary and more like reading their eyes. For the album\u2019s production, Carrabba tapped James Paul Wisner<\/strong> who produced the band\u2019s first two studio albums, The Swiss Army Romance<\/strong><\/em> and The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonesty was at the heart of the writing process, at the heart of the recording process and at the heart of this collection of songs,\u201d Carrabba says. \u201cI had the rare opportunity to be unflinchingly honest. But I think I would have thought in the early days that that would be commonplace. Now, I realize it\u2019s some kind of cycle within your life and there\u2019s great personal reward in accepting that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dashboard Confessional\u2019s most recent album, 2018\u2019s Crooked Shadows<\/em>, earned acclaim upon its release, with CLASH<\/em> hailing it as \u201cstill as charming, still as cathartic and ultimately every bit the record you want it to be.<\/em>\u201d All The Truth That I Can Tell<\/em> first began taking shape soon thereafter with a single song written one winter evening in a Manchester, UK greenroom. The creative moment felt so transformative for Carrabba that he played the new song, \u201cBurning Heart,\u201d for a live audience just an hour later.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat night, I wrote a song that I was so certain of,\u201d he says. \u201cNot just that it was good, but that it was powerful in some way, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though \u201cBurning Heart\u201d sparked the fuse, the full explosion of creativity that led to All The Truth That I Can Tell<\/em> wouldn\u2019t come until the fall of 2019. All of a sudden, Carrabba knew what to say and how to say it, clearly and sincerely, and proceeded to do so in just 10 short days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe songs came quickly,\u201d Carrabba says. \u201cI felt them. I knew I had to hole up in my house and just allow the thing to happen, and, if I got lucky, it was going to be good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Carrabba\u2019s new songs are rich with purpose and intention, merit and necessity. They tell important stories that touch on a point of progression in the veteran artist\u2019s life while collecting his perspectives on the most vital of his experiences. From \u201cBurning Heart\u201d \u2013 which fittingly opens the album \u2013 and the tone-setting second track, \u201cEveryone Else Is Just Noise,\u201d to raucous songs of progress and affirmation like \u201cHere\u2019s To Moving On\u201d and \u201cThe Better Of Me,\u201d to more subdued moments such as the tender \u201cSleep In\u201d and \u201cMe And Mine,\u201d Carrabba tracks his own personal evolution, viewed through a full heart. Noteworthy for its veracity, even among the famously intimate Dashboard Confessional canon, the album concludes with the brutally candid title track, \u201cAll The Truth That I Can Tell,\u201d offering a somber look at one\u2019s choices, consequences, and the perilousness of existence itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really mined my own soul\u2026my own psyche on this one,\u201d Carrabba says. \u201cTo be frank, I was being selfish. I was absolutely not thinking about any other person that might hear this. I was only thinking about me. But I can\u2019t tell you I\u2019m super comfortable with that idea in any other aspect of my life, except when it comes to writing songs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea of radical truth propelled Carrabba, who gazed steel-eyed inward for inspiration. Perhaps that prepared him for what was to come \u2013 just a year later, in the midst of the global pandemic, Carrabba survived a motorcycle accident and found himself in a full body cast.<\/p>\n

\u201cDashboard Confessional is about the acceptance that life is challenging,\u201d Carrabba says, \u201cthe guts to let yourself feel that and the gratitude to allow yourself to speak it, without self-judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Originally a side project for Carrabba, Dashboard Confessional grew to become one of the modern era\u2019s most popular and influential bands, adored for its groundbreaking sound and respected for its unwavering candor. But after nearly two decades, at the peak of his visibility, Carrabba found himself somehow lured off his personal path.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the height of my success,\u201d he says, \u201cI think I felt that I was pushed off the course I\u2019d charted for myself. It took me a number of years to figure out how to find my way back, and to be able to do so with the deepest conviction.\u201d<\/p>\n

While in some ways still in recovery from his accident, Chris Carrabba\u2019s mind and intentions remain as sharp as ever before. Having made it through All The Truth That I Can Tell<\/em>, he is now eager to share this triumphant new collection of songs, each of which rings as personal as family photos.<\/p>\n

\u201cApparently, I did have another record in me,\u201d Chris Carrabba says. \u201cThat means I believe I have more in me, too. What I love most about this music is the certainty I have about it. Art is an exercise in uncertainty \u2013 it\u2019s about making sense of something that isn\u2019t certain.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
