California is the seventh studio album by the American rock band Blink-182, set for release on July 1, 2016 through BMG. Produced by John Feldmann, it is the first album by the band to feature vocalist/guitarist Matt Skiba, who replaced former member Tom DeLonge. After touring and releasing the band's sixth album Neighborhoods (2011), it became difficult for the trio to record new material, due to DeLonge's various projects. After disagreements, the remaining members of the group—vocalist/bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker—sought separation from DeLonge and recruited Skiba, best-known as the frontman of rock band Alkaline Trio, in his place.

The album was recorded at Foxy Studios between January and March 2016. The group recorded dozens of songs, and regularly would spend "18 hours" in the studio a day. Feldmann was the group's first new producer since longtime collaborator Jerry Finn. The album's lead single, "Bored to Death", was released on April 27, 2016. The band will support the album with a large headlining tour across North America between July and October 2016.
