THE ARMED DROP VIDEO FOR “BROKEN MIRROR FT. PROSTITUTE”

THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED OUT NOW

TOUR DATES WITH PROSTITUTE BEGIN AUGUST 15TH

"some of its heaviest music yet: visceral, vital, and filled with desperate, righteous anger." - Pitchfork "This is the record that we didn’t realize we needed at this exact moment "- NPR  "the chaos on this new album is thrilling." - Stereogum Album of the Week  "a hurtling, screaming, overloaded barrage of fury at a 21st-century hellscape" - The New York Times

The Armed released a new album, THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED last week and today they are back with a video for “Broken Mirror” featuring Detroit area brutalists Prostitute.The video (directed by Rob Shaw and Tony Wolski) is an unsettling,dread-inducing collage of performance and surveillance feeding back into one another via primitive analog capture methods.”It’s a hideous visual aesthetic reflecting a not-particularly-flattering take on life, love and culture in 2025.” The two bands will be sharing the stage together starting August 15th for stops in Boston, New York City, DC, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Detroit.  Watch Broken Mirror ft. Prostitute HERE  Their most urgent and raw effort in a decade the album is immediately being hailed as one of their best and most important works. Both brisk and editorial in runtime and arrangement, yet vast in scope and dense within its bounds, the record reflects a world of constant and varied inundation. After completing a trilogy of albums laser-focused on dissecting artistic authenticity in the Information Age, The Armed began work on new material with no premeditated rules or concept. What emerged is a furious and confrontational new album—THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED. Still genre-defying, yet overtly pissed, it's an unfiltered expression of Weltschmerz, the German term describing the anguish of the world’s reality versus our idealized visions of what it should be. “It’s music for a statistically wealthy population that somehow can’t afford food or medicine—endlessly scrolling past vacation photos, gym selfies, and images of child amputees in the same feed. It reflects the dissociation required just to exist in that reality,” Wolski explains. “Well Made Play” video – https://youtu.be/Smiq2FP9Mos “Kingbreaker” music video – https://youtu.be/RU5z-l7SSTw “Sharp Teeth” music video: https://youtu.be/7AL3AMdN3bs?si=fQVCw6zPplDAmJG7 Listen to the album: https://lnk.thearmed.com/TFIHAENTBD
