The latest update from Derek Webb ...

friends-

this is turning into a bigger deal than we expected. as a result, we're having to temporarily _pull everything online down (can't explain now). and to be on the s_afe side, i'm going to pe_rsonally go offline while we sort this out. i re_ally shouldn't use my twitter account for now either so _don't expect any updates there.

make no m_istake, our trouble with the label over content i_s very real, and not as simple as one word; we're back_ed into a corner. but we have applied all of our creative resources to th_is, working furiou_sly to create something that we believe not only subverts any leg_al issues but should also be a _pretty wild ride.

so this will be the l_ast email for a while. we'll t_ry to lea_k information via a new tw_itter account, @ssyndrome. you're o_n your own so start payin_g attention. i'l_l see you _on the o_ther side-

derek

The rumor from the previous update seems to have been some contention over the use of a dirty word in the new release - something that's been relatively taboo in Christian music. I'm not sure that this letter really negates that rumor, as much as it seems to indicate that things have escalated beyond that matter.

Either way, I'm metaphorically in line to get this latest release whenever it's released.
