Singer and former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr recently shared a new song and accompanying music video. The video for “Armatopia” (watch below) sees Marr taking on karaoke duties for a gathering of misfits in a dusty, dated banquet hall.
“’Armatopia’ is the odd state we find the ecology and ourselves in today,” said Marr in a press release. “Have those in control made people feel like there’s only one thing left they can do? We’re smoking till we burn out, so we dance and party. It’s Eco-Disco for 2019.”
“Armatopia” marks the first new music from Marr since 2018’s Call The Comet. The new track comes only days after the announcement of his forthcoming tour, which will see the artist venturing out across the U.S. with stops in Denver, Las Vegas, Chicago and Los Angeles, among others.
