Hello Hurricane is the seventh studio album from alternative rock band Switchfoot, and the first of four albums produced in the same sessions. It was co-produced by the band and Mike Elizondo, after initial test runs with producers such as Ken Andrews and Charlie Peacock. The album was recorded mainly in their studio in their hometown of San Diego, California. It was originally to be released on October 6, 2009, but it was pushed back to November 10, 2009 on their independent record label, the Atlantic-distributed lowercase people records.
