The Glass Passenger is the upcoming studio album by Jack's Mannequin. It is expected to be released in late August or early September 2008.[1]

History

After the band's first album Everything in Transit was recorded in 2005, frontman Andrew McMahon was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and spent several months receiving cancer treatment for his disease, during which the documentary "Dear Jack" was filmed. Jack's Mannequin played its first concert since the diagnosis in December of that year, and the band began several tours over the next two years, both supporting (O.A.R. in 2005 and Panic at the Disco in 2006) and headlining (Tour for the Cure and the West Coast Winter Tour).

McMahon began writing songs for the band's second record after the summer of 2007.[2] He had about ten songs written by that December and hoped to start mixing and recording in January 2008. In interviews with AbsolutePunk.net and Alternative Press, the release date was tentatively given as April 22, 2008, but an Absolute Punk notice was posted on March 18 stating that the album would be pushed back to June 3. A month later, however, McMahon told the Montclair State University student newspaper that the release date would be moved from June 3 to late August or early September 2008.[1]

Meanwhile, Jack's Mannequin played college shows in January and February, premiering "Suicide Blonde"[3] and "Caves"[4] at Ramapo College in New Jersey. The band's official blog was updated in December with the album's title, in February with song lyrics, and in March with a tentative tracklist.

Stacy Clark's MySpace blog confirmed in April 2008 that she will be providing guest vocals on the track "Spinning".[5]
