Background

[edit | edit source]

On July 18, 2023, The Menzingers released the first single "There’s No Place in This World for Me", while hinting of a new upcoming album.[2] The music video for the single was recorded at Sonic Ranch.[3]

On August 16, 2023, the band announced the release of their new album, alongside the first single "Hope Is A Dangerous Little Thing".[1] Speaking of the new album, guitarist and vocalist Greg Barnett said:

This record just feels different for us. It's a really important one in our catalog, and a pivotal moment in our history. We have the liberty of our fans growing with us now, and after writing these lyrical songs about where we are in life, we decided to take other peoples' stories and make something bigger out of it.[4]

The third single "Come On Heartache" was released on September 20, 2023.[5]
