The Armed have announced a new album, ‘The Future Is Here and Everything Needs to Be Destroyed’

The Armed have announced their new album ‘The Future Is Here and Everything Needs to Be Destroyed’, set for release on 1st August via Sargent House.

The band are previewing the follow-up to 2023’s ‘Perfect Saviors’ with new single ‘Well Made Play’, which opens the album. The track arrives alongside a Christopher Gruse-directed video.

“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 says of the new single and video.

The album explores Weltschmerz, the German term describing the anguish felt when the harsh realities of the world fall short of our idealized visions of how it should be. “It’s music for a statistically wealthy population that somehow can’t afford food or medicine—endlessly scrolling past vacation photos, gym selfies, and images of child amputees in the same feed,” Wolski explains. “It reflects the dissociation required just to exist in that reality.”

The album’s tracklist includes ‘Well Made Play’, ‘Purity Drag’, ‘Kingbreaker’, ‘Grace Obscure’, ‘Broken Mirror ft. Prostitute’, ‘Sharp Teeth’, ‘I Steal What I Want’, ‘Local Millionaire’, ‘Gave up’, ‘Heathen’, and ‘A More Perfect Design’.
