ARM’S LENGTH – RELEASE NEW SINGLE 
“THE WEIGHT”

Arm’s Length have released the final single leading up to their new album today. “The Weight” is available now to stream and the official music video for the song can be seen here. The song is taken from ‘There’s A Whole New World Out There’, the bands highly anticipated sophomore album out 16th May 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.

“The Weight” follows the previously released singles “You Ominously End” and “Funny Face”. The new songs have been praised by the likes of Alternative Press, Ones To Watch, Brooklyn Vegan and others who have deemed the album one of the most anticipated releases of the spring. Yesterday, fans were treated to a Reddit AMA with Allen asking questions surrounding ‘There’s A Whole World Out There’.

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. Their debut album marked them as an indie band to watch, conjuring praise from writers at SPIN, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, Exclaim!, and Loudwire among others.

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).

Steinberg’s personal struggles, which he openly addressed in his songwriting, are central to the album’s creation. He confesses that during the period leading up to the writing of this record, he was “the most mentally ill” he had ever been. Yet, it was precisely through confronting these intense experiences that the album came to life with such urgency and honesty. “The songs aren’t written for anyone else at all,” he says, emphasizing the raw, unfiltered emotion that drives the record’s sound and lyrics.
