Album: "Scars and Stories" (VÖ 03.02.2012)

While crafting songs for The Fray's third album, the band found inspiration in a faraway source. "We were reading about sailors in the 16th century, how they would leave home and have their bearing for days, but then wake up and realize they had no idea where they were," explains Isaac Slade, lead singer and pianist for the Denver-based foursome. "The stars aren't out, the wind's died, they're drifting-but they somehow embraced that confusion and the feeling of being lost. It meant they'd gone far enough from home that they were really getting somewhere."
