AFI Announces New Album; Streams New Song and Video

AFI has released two new tracks. The songs are called “Looking Tragic” and “Begging For Trouble” and will appear on the new album, Bodies, which is set to drop on June 11, 2021 via Rise Records.  The album follows their 2018 EP, The Missing Man, available now via Warner Music.  The band comments on both tracks:

“‘Looking Tragic’ addresses the theme of overstimulation resulting in desensitization … Melodic and driving, the song came to life quickly and immediately stood out as a track to make bodies, if not sentiments, move.”

 

“After years of receiving early versions of songs from Jade and Davey, in forms that span loosely arranged chords and scratch vocal to fully realized demos, I think I have become quite adept at knowing which songs will or will not make the record, … ‘Begging For Trouble’ was green lit, at least in my mind, the moment I heard the vocals come in. To me, the track is a cornerstone of the new record.”
