Arm’s Length have released the final single ‘The Weight’ leading up to their new album today. The song is taken from ‘There’s A Whole New World Out There,’ the band’s highly anticipated sophomore album out May 16th via Pure Noise Records.
“‘The Weight’ is a song written primarily about eating disorders and specifically relating the feeling of wanting to be physically small with longing to be insignificant in the grand scheme of the world. Sometimes I want to be so small I disappear, and I think people can relate to that,” says vocalist and guitarist Allen Steinberg of the new song.
Building on the emotional rawness and introspection of their debut, ‘Never Before Seen, Never Again Found’, the new album finds the band pushing their boundaries, offering a deeper exploration of personal trauma, love, loss, and the resilience that emerges from navigating life’s darkest moments.
Produced once again by Anton DeLost, who worked with the band on their previous releases, ‘There’s A Whole World Out There’ marks a significant evolution for Arm’s Length. While Steinberg wrote the bulk of the material solo, the full band—guitarist Jeremy White, bassist Ben Greenblatt, and drummer Jeff White—helped bring these songs to life in the studio, with additional contributions from Bonnie Brooksbank (strings) and Alex Scalzo-Brown (piano).
