The Armed announce new album, The Future Is Here and Everything Needs to Be Destroyed
The Armed have announced a new album. On August 1, the group will release their fifth album, The Future Is Here and Everything Needs to Be Destroyed via Sargent House. A press release states that the album includes performances by Ken Szymanski, Patrick Shiroishi, Urian Hackney, Kurt Ballou, Troy Van Leeuwen, Meghan O’Neil, Cara Drolshagen, Tony Wolski, Brian Wolski, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Ben Chisholm, Prostitute, Zach Weeks, Mark Guiliana, Kayleigh Goldsworthy, and Derek Coburn, yet curiously doesn’t list Deafheaven’s George Clarke, who does appear in the photo you see above (hmmmmm!). The first single is “Well Made Play.” Hear it below.
“While we chase distractions and small comforts, we’re pushed into endless competition with each other—often while those with real power take freely, right in front of us,” vocalist Tony Wolski said about the song in a press release. “In it, two men beat each other senseless while chained together, fighting for the prize of a jet ski. A band plays, almost unnoticed in the background.”
The Armed’s last album was 2023’s Perfect Saviors.
