THE ARMED RELEASE NEW ALBUM ‘THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED’
The Armed have released a new album, THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED, their most urgent and raw effort in a decade. Both brisk and editorial in runtime and arrangement, yet vast in scope and dense within its bounds, the record reflects a world of constant and varied inundation. After completing a trilogy of albums laser-focused on dissecting artistic authenticity in the Information Age, The Armed began work on new material with no premeditated rules or concept. What emerged is a furious and confrontational new album—THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED. Still genre-defying, yet overtly pissed, it’s an unfiltered expression of Weltschmerz, the German term describing the anguish of the world’s reality versus our idealized visions of what 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. It reflects the dissociation required just to exist in that reality,” Wolski explains.
The Armed will support the album with 9 exclusive headline dates.. Spanning from summer to winter cities include Boston, New York City, DC, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Detroit. Support on the tour will include fellow Detroit area brutalists Prostitute. Tickets for the tour go are on sale now.
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.
