Kansas City emo outfit the Get Up Kids have announced their first album in eight years. It’s called Problems and it’s out May 10 via Polyvinyl. The record was produced by Peter Katis, who worked with the band for 2002’s On a Wire. Check out the Kerstin Ebert-directed video for their new single “Satellite” below.

“I started writing ‘Satellite’ about my son who’s 14 and a total introvert—not antisocial, he just genuinely likes to keep to himself,” the band’s guitarist/vocalist Matt Pryor said in a statement. “But then somewhere down the line I started singing about myself—about how even when you’re playing a show to a room full of people, I can still feel anxious and isolated.”

The Get Up Kids’ new LP follows their recent four-track Kicker EP. Their last full-length album was 2011’s There Are Rules.
