Official press release:
Legendary independent New York-based rock label Equal Vision Records and Armor For Sleep are excited to announce the Friday, November 7 release of There Is No Memory, the seminal New Jersey post-hardcore band’s brand new studio album (pre-save, pre-add, pre-order HERE). The first offering since 2022’s acclaimed The Rain Museum, There Is No Memory was recorded with Sam Guaiana (Silverstein, The Devil Wears Prada, Between You and Me) and is a collection of songs that force the listener to question the very nature of their existence, of what makes us the people we are. While The Rain Museum was a record written in the throes of the dissolution of the Armor For Sleep frontman Ben Jorgensen’s eight-year marriage and his subsequent divorce, its setting was more fictional and metaphorical. By comparison, There Is No Memory is much more literal, much more grounded in the real world, and much closer to the bone.
“Breathe Again”, the album’s new single, is a song about trying to come to grips with the fact that there was someone who you thought would be there for you through thick and thin who instead used a moment when you were at your lowest point to hurt you deeper than you thought possible. Jorgensen says:
“This person has since moved on and there is really no reconciliation possible for us, so this song is my attempt at sorting through the situation and trying to find some resolution. I think at the end, I attempt to forgive, but honestly the pain was just too great for me to really allow that.”
