AWOLNATION announces new album, 'The Phantom Five'

AWOLNATION (Aaron Bruno) will release a new album called The Phantom Five on August 30. In celebration of the news, he has released a brand new single called “Jump Sit Stand March,” which can be streamed below. The single features vocals from Dead Sara‘s Emily Armstrong.

Speaking about the single, 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.”

Emily has added:

“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.”
