Modern Life Is War have issued the second single from their first new full-length in more than twelve years, Life on the Moon (due out September 5 through Deathwish Inc.). New track “Jackie Oh No” can be streamed below.
Vocalist/lyricist Jeff Eaton comments on the song:
“The instrumental was delivered to me and appeared as a ballad covered in cobwebs and I tried to write it and sing it just the same, as if I lacked no experience in that realm and as if it is exactly what everyone wanted from me. ‘Jackie Oh No’ is a song about an obsessive love that is as dangerous as it is powerful. Assassination folklore from the badlands to the boundary waters to the book repository, an anthem for those who have gone too far and know it and those willing to pay the price with their very lives.”
