The Shade of Poison Trees, Dashboard Confessional's fifth album, came out on Vagrant in 2007 and found Chris Carrabba unplugging again. After two records of electric, full-band sound, he went back to the acoustic intimacy that first made his name, back when Dashboard was a solo side project he ran while still in Further Seems Forever. It was cut fast, over 10 days in Florida at Bieler Brothers Studio and The Dungeon, with Don Gilmore producing and mixing and Mark Kiczula engineering, and George Marino mastered it at Sterling Sound.
The strummed guitars and bare-throated vocals recall the early records, but the songs have grown up, carrying the melodic sense of the band's later work without the heavy studio gloss. The album was announced in August 2007, and fans got their first taste when "Thick as Thieves" went up for streaming on Myspace.
