THE ARMED Leave The Chaos and Provide "Luxury Themes" For Their Mind Blowing Latest Single

It's so good, it hurts!

It's so good, it hurts!

As you probably know by now, I truly adore the Detroit weirdos in The Armed. So it gives me nothing but pleasure to talk about their latest single "Luxury Themes" off the upcoming album, Only Love.

It's a track that immediately stood out to me upon my first listen of the album, and quickly became one of my favorite songs the band has ever written. Yet, another shining example of how you should expect the unexpected when it comes to this band.

From the syncopated grooves of drum maistro Ben Koller (Converge, Mutoid Man), the tasteful nature of the fuzz bass that carries the track, mournfully melodic vocals, and playful shoegaze guitar noise, wrapped in a warm ball of furry feel good that expands up through the end, there's literally nothing about this song I don't love.

Play the track below courtesy of NPR, and pre-order one of my favorite albums of the year now!
