AWOLNATION has announced details of his fifth album, ‘The Phantom Five’, sharing infectious new single ‘Jump Sit Stand March’.
The trailblazing project from creative force Aaron Bruno, the follow-up to 2020’s ‘Angel Miners & the Lightning Riders’ will arrive on August 30.
With previously released single ‘Panoramic View’ also appearing on ‘The Phantom Five’, the latest taste of AWOLNATION’s new era features a ripping vocal feature from Dead Sara‘s Emily Armstrong.
Speaking about ‘Jump Sit Stand March’, Aaron has shared:
“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.”
And speaking on her involvement in the track, Emily has said:
“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.
“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.”
