Modern Life Is War’s first new studio LP in 12 years ‘Life on the Moon’ is out today

Modern Life Is War make a bold return with their first new proper full-length in over twelve years: Life on the Moon.

Out today via Deathwish Inc. (digital) + Iodine Recordings (physical) [order], Life on the Moon serves as a tribute to loss, a reflection on grief, struggle and the beauty of living, the moments between dreams and nightmares, memories and desires. Known for their distinctive blend of raw emotion and confrontational intensity, Modern Life Is War once again deliver a mix of gritty realism and poetic despair, pushing forward while staying in touch with that which has resonated with audiences over time.  Crafted over several years with the help of long-time collaborator Brooks Strause and friends, Life on the Moon is as much an emotional outpouring as it is a sonic evolution.

Showcasing Modern Life Is War’s continued ability to confront personal turmoil with a potent mix of defiance and vulnerability, Life on the Moon is a record about the pain of separation and the joyful energy of union as filtered through an eclectic tapestry of eccentric songs.
