Brain Pain is the seventh studio album by Massachusettspop punk band Four Year Strong, released on February 28, 2020. It was the band's first studio album in nearly five years. The album was announced on January 14, 2020, accompanied by the release of the first two singles from the album, "Talking Myself in Circles" and "Brain Pain".[6]
Vocalist/guitarist Alan Day spent time producing records for Can't Swim, Seaway and Knuckle Puck,[7] and managing his Christmas tree farm.[8] In January and February 2017, the group went on a UK tour to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Rise or Die Trying (2007).[9] It was followed by two US legs: one in March and April 2017,[10] and the other in September and October.[11] A compilation album, Some of You Will Like This, Some of You Won't, appeared in September 2017.[12]
Recording sessions for the band's next album were held at Graphic Nature Audio in Belleville, New Jersey with producer Will Putney. He also acted as engineer, with additional engineering from Steve Seid and additional editing from Geo Hewitt. Randy Slaugh and Guy Randle engineered the strings on "Be Good When I'm Gone". Putney mixed and mastered the recordings; the bonus tracks from the reissue were produced by the band and engineered, mixed and mastered by Day.[13]
