Stereogum also reports that the the band told a fan in their comments that their fourth album is "94.5%" finished, a response to a request for an update percentage following Koenig's announcement in September 2017 that the album was at 80%. According to The FADER's own Olivia Craighead, this hints at a mid-September 2018 release, should the band keep the same rate.
