Straw Man Army drops True North album hear “Striking Home”
The New York-based duo Straw Man Army is tuning up the world of music with a fresh, deeply personal concept album, signaling an evolution of their signature psychedelic post-punk sound. Known for infusing their work with the hypnotic rhythms of krautrock and sprawling, ambitious concepts, the group has built a compelling sonic legacy over the past few years.
Their journey began two years ago with the release of Age Of Exile, their captivating debut. This foundational work set the stage for what would become a sprawling musical trilogy.
Following that initial success, Straw Man Army continued to explore their unique vision, culminating in the recent release of Earthworks, which served as the final chapter in their narrative arc.
Now, the duo is ready to embark on a new creative path with True North, a concept album that promises a distinct sonic shift. While maintaining the grand, conceptual scope that defines their music, this new project steps into a different realm, embracing a stripped-down, all-acoustic approach.
This pivot allows the core dynamics of the Straw Man Army sound—the psychedelic post-punk energy and vast conceptual ideas—to shine through with an intimate clarity. It’s an invitation to experience their vision in a more exposed, raw setting.
The anticipation is already building, with early tracks from True North, including the standout “Striking Home,” already garnering attention and praise in the music community. The new offering is set to be a powerful demonstration of the band’s versatility and their ability to craft profound concepts, proving that even when simplifying the sound, the depth of their vision remains absolutely intact.
