Voices is the second and final studio album by American rock band Matchbook Romance. Production and recording for the album began on April 2005 after a year and a half of almost non stop touring.[3] The album's sound leaves behind much of the stripped down sound of their debut, Stories and Alibis, opting for a darker, more foreboding tone. The album was released through Epitaph Records on February 14, 2006 in US.[4] accompanied by the single "Monsters" and radio only single "Surrender".[5]
Lead singer and guitarist Andrew Jordan adopted a much different vocal style for this record than their previous and debut album. Andrew described the album as one that embarked “on stories of betrayal, nightmares, ghosts, and of course a little love”[6] and that it became natural for them to grow up from their previous pop-punk influenced sound.[7]
The cover of the album was designed by Shawn Harris from pop punk band. The Matches[8] Inside the album's packaging, there is a small plastic panel with alternating black and transparent strips. This panel can be aligned with parts of the album's artwork to reveal secret messages, hence the liner "There are voices in the walls". Some of the lyrics to the hidden track can also be found in the lyrics of the other songs, and are represented by the capital letters that are not colored in white.[9]
