James Wisner has been enlisted to produce Mourning September's forthcoming debut on Floodgate Records.

Wisner is best known for the monster success of the Dashboard Confessional's "The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most,” and the recent Further Seems Forever effort "How to Start a Fire.” Additionally, Wisner was the man behind the console on releases by such artists as New Found Glory, 238, Underoath, Glasseater and Legends of Rodeo.

"I'm very much looking forward to working with the guys" says Wisner "I know we are going to create something really special that will show the fans what they are capable of."

Wisner says that the decision to work with the band was immediate upon hearing their music.  "There was just a vibe to it, and really like the tone of Tony's Chavez’s voice.  Sometimes there's just a feeling when I know that I can come together with a band and make something great.  This is one of those times."

According to the band the decision to work with Wisner was an easy one to make.

"We love the sound and the feel of his past records," says Tony, “It’s an honor to be able to work with a producer of his caliber."

Bassist Zach Tietsort continues, "We really like what he does with vocals.  We're very excited to work with someone who has such a great history with so many great records from so many great bands."

Recording is set to begin in early March at Wisner’s studio in Orlando, Florida.  The currently untitled project is slated for a late summer release through Floodgate Records, Word Entertainment/WEA Distribution.  Floodgate Records is also the home to such acts as East West, Rita Springer, Cool Hand Luke and the Insyderz.
