<blockquote>Grace Potter and the Nocturnals will release a new studio album this spring. The album, a collaboration with songwriter/producer Mark Batson, is the first to feature the Nocturnals current lineup. It is unclear what happened to an earlier series of recording sessions the band did with producer T-Bone Burnett. Baton is best known in the hip-hip/R&B world for his work with Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys. He branched out in 2005 to work with Dave Matthews Band on Stand Up.

The band entered Los Angeles’ Westlake Studios with Batson in early September. The group recorded a dozen tracks in 17 weeks, brining her new song total to 17. The group is currently mixing the album and deciding which songs to include, though the Obama-inspired “Colors,” the new “Oasis,” “Tiny Light” and the first Batson/Potter collaboration “Medicine” will all make the cut.</blockquote>

That clears it all up doesn't it?
