Boston- based alterna- popsters Letters To Cleo have returned to the studio after two years to record their third album. The group's not- yet- titled third effort will be produced by Peter Collins at Longview Farms in Massachussetts, and is due in October on Revolution Records. It will be their album first with new drummer Tom Polce, who recently replaced Stacy Jones after he left to join Veruca Salt.

While it's been two years since the band's Wholesale Meats and Fish was released on CherryDisc/ Giant in 1995, lead singer Kay Hanley was busy helping to compile the Safe & Sound compilation and benefit shows, which were created in response to the two women shot to death at abortion clinics in Brookline, Massachussetts in 1994. Prior to Wholesale, Aurora Glory Alice was released, first on CherryDisc in 1993, then through Giant in 1994. The latter album featured the hit "Here & Now," which appeared on a Melrose Place episode.

Meanwhile, Hanley and her guitarist Michael Eisenstein have set a date for their wedding. The two are set to tie the knot on Oct. 18.

UPDATE: Kay and Mike actually got married on January 18th, 1998. The title of their recent cd is "Go!" which was released in September on Revolution Records
