Next month sees a new album from A R I Z O N A band

Acclaimed electro-pop trio A R I Z O N A have revealed their self-titled third studio album will be released on May 12 via Fueled By Ramen. The new single is “Dark Skies.” Pre-save A R I Z O N A and stream/download the new track HERE. Full track listing is below.

Regarding the new album, lead vocalist Zachary Charles commented, "The true tests and trials of nature are often alienating experiences, which we all face from time to time. What's more uncommon is to find yourself on a journey to hell and back together with a whole world. What we've been calling Album Three, otherwise our newest self-titled album, isn't a story as much as it is a collection of vignettes crafted over a few of our most individually and generationally challenging years to date that happen upon a theme: Good and bad times have happened and will continue to, and only by being present for them both will we gain anything, if only perspective, from either."

A R I Z O N A returned in February with their synth-infused pop track “Moving On,” which marked the group’s first original music release in four years. In tandem with the new song, the three-piece also shared the music video, captured in the Round Rock, AZ desert and featuring land art from artist Jim Denevan – whose work has been featured at the Vancouver Sculpture Biennale, MoMA/PS1 and Desert X AlUla. He created the video’s land art with the help of Navajo Nation and his son Brighton Denevan.

The band will open for Quinn XCII on his spring/summer U.S. tour. The dates kick off in May in Boston and wraps in June. All tickets are available HERE, with the full routing included below.
