Moving Mountains. It was released on May 11, 2011 on
Triple Crown Records
Triple Crown Records is a New York-based rock music record label created in 1997 by Fred Feldman. The label features such artists as The Receiving End of Sirens and The Dear Hunter, ''Artists Page'' and launched the career of Brand New in 2001.> ...
. The band has stated that Triple Crown Records gave them full freedom to record and write the album as they pleased. The lyrics were written by Gregory Dunn, some of which, like ''
Pneuma'', were written about his friend who had died and touch on Dunn's existential questions of faith and existence. He has stated that this is the last album with lyrics about his deceased friend. After the success of ''Pneuma'' and the band's lifestyle shift to touring, their primary artistic vision for ''Waves'' was to create an album that would reflect how they played live. Additionally, lead vocalist Dunn said, "Our goal with Waves was to have someone be engaged from the start to the end." Although the album borrows directly from their previous work on ''Pneuma'' and ''Foreword'', the band has described the album as athematic, "un-poetic and almost clumsy,
utreally honest."
