AFI will release a new album called Bodies on June 11th. They have released two news songs from the project — "Looking Tragic" and "Begging For Trouble" — alongside a video for "Looking Tragic."
Frontman Davey Havok said, "'Looking Tragic' addresses the theme of overstimulation resulting in desensitization. Melodic and driving, the song came to life quickly and immediately stood out as a track to make bodies, if not sentiments, move."
Drummer Adam Carson added, "After years of receiving early versions of songs from Jade and Davey, in forms that span loosely arranged chords and scratch vocal to fully realized demos, I think I have become quite adept at knowing which songs will or will not make the record. 'Begging For Trouble' was green lit, at least in my mind, the moment I heard the vocals come in. To me, the track is a cornerstone of the new record."
The album announcement follows last month's release of "Twisted Tongues" and "Escape From Los Angeles," which were the band's first new music since The Missing Man EP in 2018.
