AWOLNATION announce new album ‘The Phantom Five’

AWOLNATION have announced a new album!

Titled The Phantom Five, the upcoming album from the American alternative pop-rock band is the follow-up to 2020’s Angel Miners & The Lightning Riders (and last year’s Candy Pop EP), and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Better Noise Music.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Jump Sit Stand March. The new song features a guest appearance from Emily Armstrong of DEAD SARA.

Speaking about the new song, band leader Aaron Bruno shares, “we’ve played a few shows with DEAD SARA over the years and I’ve always been a fan of Emily’s voice. She is a vocal superstar. She ripped it on this track, and it’s really fun to have the male and female vocals together, especially in the chorus where the textures are so nice. The song is about overstimulation and being frustrated with having to please everybody’s virtues all at the same time. There’s a lot of pressure to think a certain way. It’s the opposite of a protest song; it’s actually pointing out that just because everybody’s telling you need to do something, it doesn’t mean you do. Like C.S. Lewis said, ‘when the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind’. I know I’m not alone on that.”

“Aaron and I have known each other since the days of Warped Tour and have worked together before but this is finally the first release together,” adds Emily Armstrong. “The making of this song was truthfully all him and when I first heard it, I instantly knew I wanted to be a part of it. I have to say this is a special track and I’m beyond stoked at how it turned out.”
