Strung Out pull curtain on "Under The Western Sky" video

Strung Out tap David Lynch vibes on new video

In preparation for their new album, Strung Out have released a new song and video. Titled "Under a Western Sky", the song is the second to be released ahead of their upcoming 9th studio album, Songs of Armor and Devotion. The video was directed by vocalist Jason Cruz who says the video was in tribute to filmmaker David Lynch and one of the central themes of the new album- America;

"Under the Western Sky’ was inspired by the films of David Lynch and my favorite subject: America. I have neither pride nor disdain for the environment I was raised and continue to create in. The things I see and feel are all just colors on a palette to be used any way I see fit."

The new album is the follow-up to 2015's Transmission.Alpha.Delta and is due for release August 9th via Fat Wreck. The album is also the first without long time drummer Jordan Burns, who departed the band in 2018. Burns was replaced by Runaway Kids drummer RJ Shankle.

Out of the two songs released thus far, "Under The Western Sky" has us most excited for the new record- all fire and melody; trademark Strung Out.

Strung Out have a North American tour lined up for September through November with The Casualties.
