Video: Armor For Sleep - How Far Apart
Calling all Armor For Sleep fans! Because in case you missed it, last week, the post hardcore/emo rockers, release new music for the first time in 15 years!!
With the release of the new single, “How Far Apart”, Armor For Sleep also announced their return to Equal Vision Records and will release their new album, The Rain Museum, this fall!
Of The Rain Museum, Armor For Sleep’s frontman, Ben Jorgenson shares, “We are very excited to share our new album, The Rain Museum with everyone. Back in 2020, at the start of the pandemic and at the start of our collective lockdown, I made it my mission to finish writing a concept album that I had the idea for for many years but was never able to bring to life. The Rain Museum was initially a short story I wrote many years ago about a post-apocalyptic Earth and a mysterious museum in the middle of the desert. Weaving the story into an album was going to be my quarantine project. Unfortunately, my marriage of nearly eight years and basically my entire life fell apart as I was beginning the writing process. The one thing I had in my life to divert my attention from what I was going through was the creative process of writing that album… so I decided to push through and keep working on the record…but something weird happened. Because I couldn’t ignore what I was going through personally, I wound up writing myself and what I was going through into the story of the album and into the world I had been creating for this concept record. In the end, it’s an album about facing some of the most painful parts of being human and how lost we can get. I just hope it will speak to people going through their own dark times, as my favorite art certainly helped me get through mine."
After a fifteen year absence from the studio, The Rain Museum will prove to be well-worth the wait! You can pre-save and preorder it HERE.
