Arm's Legnth drop latest single "You Ominously End" from upcoming LP
March 18, 2025 – Arm’s Length have released another new single from their highly anticipated sophomore album, ‘There’s A Whole World Out There’ due May 16 via Pure Noise Records. Fans can now listen and watch the music video for “You Ominously End” below.
“You Ominously End is about the shame and isolation of dealing with mental illness, especially when you feel unable to check in on loved ones who are also struggling,” explains vocalist and guitarist Allen Steinberg. “When writing this song, I focused on capturing that isolating experience through vivid storytelling. The tragic theme of the song is contrasted by country/folk elements, creating a jarring effect. This contrast makes it one of our personal favorite tracks by Arm's Length.”
“You Ominously End” follows “Funny Face”, which was released upon the announcement of the new album. The single ignited excitement in fans as they praised its raw lyricism and contagious energy, while critics have highlighted the band’s ability to craft a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
