In case you missed it, earlier this month, post-hardcore/emo rock band, Armor For Sleep delivered their new album, The Rain Museum via Equal Vision Records!

It's been 15 years since the last record from Armor For Sleep. The Rain Museum is a 12-song collection that is equal part beautiful and devastating. Originally planned as the follow up to What to Do When You Are Dead, the album had been shelved due to “bad advice” leading the band in another direction. Fast forward to the global pandemic of 2020 and the events of the real world encouraged lead singer and guitarist, Ben Jorgensen to revisit the concept. Concurrently, his marriage of eight years began to fall apart, leaving Jorgensen to further infuse the science-fiction story with elements of his real life. The resulting record draws upon the best elements of Armor For Sleep’s catalog while incorporating elevated songwriting and composition.

"It’s been a journey to get back to this point, but we couldn’t be more excited to share our new album with everyone,” says Jorgensen. ”The reaction to the new songs so far has been amazing to see. We are very lucky to have the fans that we have in our corner. Thank you to everyone who has been following along with us!"
