Zao bezig met nieuw materiaal

Zao is bezig met nieuw materiaal voor een volgend studio album. De band is van plan deze op hun eigen label uit te brengen.

"We are writing, we have been exchanging songs. We have tossed songs that are 'too standard for ZAO,' we are trying new things. It's liberating. We are doing our best to get Russ [Cogdell, guitar] on the album (as we tried with [2009's] 'Awake?'). Needless to say, we are taking our time because we can."
