AWOLNATION Return with 'Run' LP, Premiere New Video

BY Alex HudsonPublished Jan 26, 2015

AWOLNATION scored a big hit with their 2011 single "Sail," and now the Los Angeles electronic rock band are hoping that lightning strikes twice. Their second album is called Run and it will be out on March 17 through Red Bull Records.

The 14-track effort was written, performed and produced entirely by frontman Aaron Bruno, with sessions taking place on the California coast. "There is not one second on the record that hasn't been thoughtfully placed," Bruno said in a statement. "Every single element serves a purpose." 

The tracklist is below; it includes charming titles like "KOOKSEVERYWHERE!!!!" and "Fat Face." According to a press release, the songs are "sprawling, atmospheric, exuberant, earnest and refined with moments of a signature aggressive unease"

For a taste of this, watch a video for lead single "Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)" at the bottom of this page. The song flirts with electronic pop grooves, theatrical rock and scream-laced electro-metal, while the visuals were captured in one take by director Haley Young.

The album is available to pre-order on CD or vinyl right here. Digital pre-orders will begin tomorrow.
