Modern Life Is War have unveiled their new single “Jackie Oh No” today.
Vocalist Jeff Eaton said this about the song, which can be heard here:
“The instrumental was delivered to me and appeared as a ballad covered in cobwebs and I tried to write it and sing it just the same, as if I lacked no experience in that realm and as if it is exactly what everyone wanted from me. ‘Jackie Oh No’ is a song about an obsessive love that is as dangerous as it is powerful. Assassination folklore from the badlands to the boundary waters to the book repository, an anthem for those who have gone too far and know it and those willing to pay the price with their very lives.”
“Jackie Oh No” stems from Modern Life Is War’s forthcoming studio album Life on the Moon, which will be released on September 5 via Deathwish Inc. [digital] + Iodine Recordings [physical]). Pre-orders for the album can be made here.
Modern Life Is War will embark on a Witness 10th anniversary trek leading up to their appearance at Furnace Fest. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
