AWOLNATION has released his eagerly awaited full length album, ‘The Phantom Five.’ Composed of ten tracks, Aaron Bruno aka AWOLNATION says he “wrote this album with the intention that it could possibly be the final AWOLNATION album”. It includes the previously released singles and music videos for ‘Panoramic View,‘ ‘Jump Sit Stand March’ feat. Emily Armstrong and ‘I Am Happy’ feat. Del The Funky Homosapien.
“I wrote this album with the intention that it could possibly be the final AWOLNATION album,” shares Bruno. “I wanted the challenge and inspiration of that idea. I’m not sure if it will actually be the last album, but I wanted to create that narrative to push myself with it and put everything I have into these songs.”
‘The Phantom Five’ is a collection of ten 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. Appearances on the album include features from the aforementioned Emily Armstrong from Dead Sara and Del the Funky Homosapien. ‘The Phantom Five’ is concerned with trying to find one’s way to happiness in a bizarrely upside-down time.
