AWOLNATION announce forthcoming fifth studio album, The Phantom Five will drop on August 30th, via Twenty Two Five Music/The Orchard. The new album includes the lead single “Panoramic View” which is heading Top 20 on the Alternative chart. 

The album announcement arrived with a dark new song “Jump Sit Stand March (featuring Emily Anderson).” Check out the video HERE. 

“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.”

The Phantom Five is a collection of 10 songs that highlights every different impulse and urge Bruno has learned to master with AWOLNATION in a cohesive, anthemic pastiche of modern music. It functions almost as a “greatest hits” album, in the sense that it offers something for everyone who has followed the band’s arc in its celebrated, shape – shifting way.

AWOLNATION is playing Summerfest in Milwaukee on June 22nd and begins a summer tour with 311 and Neon Trees on July 20th. Find the tour dates HERE.
