Militarie Gun have announced a new album, God Save the Gun, which will land October 17 via Loma Vista. The follow-up to Life Under the Gun is led by the infectiously pummelling ‘B A D I D E A’, which comes with a music video directed by bandleader Ian Shelton. Check it out below.
“I wanted to make a video that was a celebration of vices, a new iteration of yourself looking back at a moment you made a mistake while never truly reflecting,” Shelton said in a press release. “This was the most technically challenging video we’ve ever done and it only fits a song spelling out the words ‘bad idea’.”
Militarie Gun worked on the 14-track effort with producer/engineer Riley MacIntyre (Arlo Parks, The Kills). God Save the Gun also features contributions from Phillip Odom, James Goodson of Dazy, and Nick Panella of MSPAINT.
“I’m well aware that being this vulnerable turns my personal trauma into a marketing hook for this album,” Shelton added. “But I’m fine with it, if not provoking it. Over the past couple years, as I spoke about addiction from the perspective of someone affected by it, I became the one struggling with it. There’s a farcical logic to entering a situation, fully knowing the consequences, and doing it anyway – but that’s where my head was when I started leaning on drinking.”
