Titus Andronicus Announce New Album 'The Will to Live'

Revered rock institution Titus Andronicus have announced the long-awaited release of their seventh studio album, The Will to Live, out via Merge Records on Friday, September 30. Pre-orders are available now.

Produced by Titus Andronicus singer-songwriter Patrick Stickles and award-winning Canadian producer Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, Leonard Cohen, The Whole Nine Yards) at the latter's hotel2tango recording studio in Montreal, The Will to Live is heralded by today's premiere of the stirring first single, "(I'm) Screwed," listen now at all DSPs and streaming services.

An official music video from director Ray Concepcion - which finds the band performing on a flatbed truck during the Independence Day Parade in the band's hometown of Glen Rock, NJ - is streaming now on YouTube.

Stickles elaborates, "In '(I'm) Screwed,' we are introduced to the narrator of The Will to Live at the moment he realizes the walls are closing in. Be it real or imagined, he feels the pressure building on all sides, a feeling to which many of us can relate, I imagine. His faith and fortitude are tested like never before, and the narrative of the album will reveal whether that pressure crushes him or produces a diamond."

Titus Andronicus will celebrate The Will to Live with the first leg of their 2022-23 world tour, beginning with The Will to Live record release show September 30th at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. For complete details and ticket information, please visit here.
