From Press Release –
AWOLNATION has announced his fifth studio album, The Phantom Five, to be released August 30, 2024. A new single and music video for “Jump Sit Stand March” featuring Emily Armstrong was recently released.
“We’ve played a few shows with Dead Sara over the years and I’ve always been a fan of Emily’s voice,” says Aaron Bruno aka AWOLNATION. “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,” he continues. “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.”
The Phantom Five is a collection of ten songs that highlights every impulse and urge Bruno has learned to master with AWOLNATION in a cohesive, anthemic pastiche of modern music. The Phantom Five is concerned with trying to find one’s way to happiness in a bizarrely upside-down time.
