It's so weird to love something so much while being unable to understand what the fuck it is you love about it. Ultrapop was my album of its year. Watching my mates (who like heavy music) visibly squirm any time I put it on due to it being too abrasive was pure joy in itself. Although I do wish I had mates I could share the enjoyment with. I guess you random Internet folk is all I need.
Gonna shit when this album drops. I can already feel it brewing
THIS .... i feel the same..few people can catch what The Armed are doing.. the eclectic stuff they are doing doesn't lose the abrasiveness but keeping it fresh... its heavy and loud but new and original
You are both totally right. And i feel the same. Mates like heavy music butstill get no connection to The Armed. What a pity. New Song is hitting a new level. Cant wait to hear the album
i think the armed is unique in terms of noisey/heavy music cause of their use of layering. all futures is a pretty clear demonstration of how they'll layer different riffs and melodies and sounds all on top of each other to make it feel like you're listening to multiple songs at once
James's mates: WTF is this music?
James: Does anyone even know me?
We got you fam
Might already be obvious to others, but I think I understand the end of the video now -- with sport of form being a competition with only our past selves, Dan is still treating life like a sport of measure and keeping score against the progress of others in the present. When he wakes to find Iggy Pop, a veritable god towering loudly in glory, he can't help but wither in his comparison to someone he deems far worthier. For a time he forgets that we're only ever truly measured by how we improve ourselves, and that comparison is a sad death of both joy and growth.
"Does anyone even know you, does anyone even care?" 😥
I will never forget the Armed. The greatest band in the whole world.
the crossover i never knew i needed. but i need it, julian baker, iggy pop and the armed, it's perfect.
I am going through s lot right now, and listening to this beautiful new song just made me feel so incredibly happy, also Julien Baker vocals fit so perfectly.

0:51 DAAAAAAAAAAMN this part on repeat all day. “From a Waiter / From a Friend”
I saw "Liar 2" on the track listing and my brain got HOT.
Did you like it
Dan Greene ascension arc. Love the music and video!
The only cinematic universe that matters: The ACU
AKA The DGCU (Dan Greene Cinematic Universe)
Favorite song on the album. Just realized today that Julien Baker (Boygenius) has a Backing Vocals credit for this song too which makes me love it all the more
Am I the only one who wanted this ending part at 3:12 to go on a bit longer? So epic it gives me chills.
Everything they do hits me in places very few bands ever have.
@@macmurphy74I agree with you 💯
So good. Juliens vocals are a great addition!
LYRICS:
Oh so perfect
Self-aware
A curation
Unflawed
Iteration
Or one of kind?
A distinction
So hard to explain
Sport of form
State of grace
Tow a line
Keep a faith
Never die
Never fade
From a waiter
From a friend
From a long-lost time
Half erased
Different lives
Same old place
Tow a line
Test some faith
Never die
Never fade
Always time to watch
Seashells drowning
Is it cynical?
Are they drowning?
When it's hard to explain
Never die
Never fade
When you're longing to break
Draw the line
Never trace
Does anyone even know you?

Between HIRS Collective and the armed albums coming out this year, I'm feeling pretty good about my chaotic, left-field hardcore choices rn

The Armed changed my vision on music for good.
Brutal, fragile, beautiful!...state of grace for The Armed!
There's really just no better band out right now. Much love!
That camera sweep at 0:56 is so mesmerizing!
I think I've watched that bit like 58k times
Bless The Armed, and the Godfather of Punk, "The Source," Iggy Pop. This is lovely on so many levels, with such power and vision. REFRACT
What a work of art!
grade A super chaotic as allways make me smile
I didn't know Iggy Pop owned a shirt
Me either 👚 haha. ☺
It’s a doily
The cello at 2:24 makes my heart swell
Holy shit. Thank you for helping me realize what that swell was
OMG the armed are coming to. Washington State!!❤🔥🎤🎵 REFRACT
Damn dudes, tears at the end
Friend: What does the new Armed track sound like?
Me: yes
This is sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a song!
Ahhhh cant wait to see you again guys! Come back to Poland!!!!!
Aaaaaaand pre-ordered. woo
i work at a hospital and plan on playing this in our waiting rooms
Let me know how that goes please lol
@nev3084 I agree I want to know it turned out ❤
Love
Draw the line
Never trace
A mix of emotions.
I LOVE IT SO MUCH❤❤❤
RIP CLOTH
💗🔥🙌👏👏 I don´t know how the armed manage to create such unique music. Frigging love you guys. And Iggy pop is god.
i mean, the millionaire funding it sure helps :D
@@notreally-sf3dfplease elaborate
@@christsatanatl The Armed has always been Dan Greene's pet project, and he has the money and talent (and money) to do whatever he want with it. Not complaining, he's doing good stuff.
I’m so confused, and I love it.
Got damn. Production quality just keeps getting better and better. [X]
wonder where you got that name from...
@TrebuL - My last name backward? 🤝

Pretty fuckin tasty. Matador have had an ear for great music for 30+ years now. I'm totally out of touch with their recent artists, so this clip popping up in my feed was a very welcome surprise. P.S. There's simply not enough music in triplet based time signatures these days. If Iggy is showing up in your video, you know you're on the right path. Well done. Very fucking well done.
proper, this why they are number 1 artist
Best band! Refract!
Who's going to NYC in November??
This is brilliant.
They remind me of creatively audacious bands like At the Drive In and TV on the Radio.
Never thought I'd cry while listening to The Armed
Done it a bunch lad, daniels cry in pure refraction
Saw them live and was sobbing like a baby for most of it. Can't explain it. Something seriously special about this band
@@jamestottle3199man! I was ready for war when I saw them and when the Ultrapop intro music started my bottom lip was all over the place.
@@takeguard hahahaha snap!!!
@jamestottle3199 bro i bet i would be. Their shit makes me tear up when i listen. ULTRAPOP has a few songs that have that affect on me but im not sad. Music is just fucking beautiful.
How can The Armed always get it so right?
So far ahead of their time... people will be playing their music in 2077. Lol
@@nev3084❤ I agree with you 💯
I can't like this enough
R e f r a c t me like a drop of water and let those beautiful colors SHINE
Today is a glorious day!
REFRACT!!!!!!!!!! What a song.
Iggy knows!
Here to have my face melted.
never stop
Bring it!

Nice! Iggy that pops out of nowhere.
He's all around, in Butt Town
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
Hell yeah dude
I care. ❤
This is awesome, then suddenly, WOW, IGGY POP, IT IS BETTER NOW.
Esto es genial!!
I like it a lot. Almost feels like it could have come from Time WIll Die and Love WIll Bury It by Rolo Tomassi
It felt like CHVRCHES collabed with Rolo on a pop song 😅
@@markservilio2357 kinda yeah but "Rolo Tomassi collabing with CHVRCHES" is also just what Rolo Tomassi has sounded like for the past five years lol. Not that that's a bad thing
Rolo Tomassi mentioned. Based af!
a great modern ballad 🔥🔥🔥
Gila bgt
Slaps
Forever pushing the boundaries of ultrapop and hardcore ever closer to each other. The Armed are BACK!!
There’s nothing Hyperpop about this
@@subpar7404 Its ULTRAPOP
This was a magical way to wake up. Thank you ❤
Omg I love your comment!😴❤🎸
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
в финале с Игги Попом аж слёзы наворачиваются 🥲
