The Armed have announced their forthcoming album ‘Perfect Saviours’ along with sharing the video for its lead single ‘Sport Of Form’.‘Perfect Saviors’ is set for release on August 25 via Sargent House.

The LP features contributions from Sarah Tudzin (illuminati hotties), Mark Guiliana, Patrick Shiroishi, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and more.Speaking about the album, Vocalist Tony Wolski shared: “Too much information has made us dumb and confused.

Too many ways to connect have inadvertently led to isolation. And too much expectation has forced everyone to become a celebrity.He continued: “Predictable primal dangers have given way to newer social ones.

And the result is a world that is confounding and terrifying—but ultimately still beautiful. We hope this record is exactly all of that, too. ‘Perfect Saviors’ is our completely unironic, sincere effort to create the biggest, greatest rock album of the 21st century.”Their lead single ‘Sport Of Form’ features Julien Baker on vocals along with a cameo by Iggy Pop in the video playing the role of God.“There are two types of sport—those of measure and those of form,” explained Wolski in a press release about the LP’s lead single.He adds: “A sport of measure like basketball, football, or soccer has a point system and a sort of binary path to victory.
