The song is taken from the band’s brand new digital/7″ single that was released today, Tuesday, August 28. Including a cover of Yaz’s “Only You,” the “World’s End” single is the band’s latest material since the release of their critically acclaimed 2011 sophomore album, The Last Place“World’s End” is now exclusively premiering at Entertainment Weekly online. Check it outHERE.

 

In addition to the release of the digital/7″ single, Army Navy will be touring during the last week of September and throughout October. Buy Youtube Views. Supporting The Features on the first nine dates, the tour will begin in Los Angeles on September 26 at the Troubadour.

Army Navy released its highly acclaimed self-titled debut album on its own label, The Fever Zone, in late 2008, an album Pitchfork declared a “bubbly effervescent valentine to obscure power pop bands of the late-1970s and early-’80s” in their 7.8 review, and a record NPR described as “a Posies-and-Teenage Fanclub-style tsunami of melody and distortion that underscores the youthful essence of power-pop in all its bittersweet glory.”

 

In June 2011, the band released its sophomore album titled The Last Place via the eMusic‘s “Selects” program, a coveted spotlight that offered The Last Place to eMusic.com’s subscribers exclusively for an entire month.

 

eMusic went on to describe The Last Place as “a poisoned Valentine dripping with equal parts beauty and scorn; imagine a Vulcan mind-meld between Teenage Fanclub’s Bandwagonesqueand Marvin Gaye’s Here, My Dear and you’re there.” The eMusic Selects program started in 2008 to spotlight talented, unsigned bands and has served as a launching pad for some of today’s most sought-after indie bands. Best Coast, the Rural Alberta Advantage, Crystal Stilts and Julianna Barwick all released some early albums through the eMusic Selects program.

 

The Last Place, an album SPIN Magazine called “a feel-bad record you can actually feel good about” in their 8-out-of-10 review, is now available for purchase in stores and through all digital retailers. The band is currently in the studio working on their third full-length album.
