The Phantom Five is the upcoming sixth studio album by the American rock band Awolnation. It is scheduled to be released on August 30, 2024.
The first single from the album, "Panoramic View", was released on March 29, 2024. [1] On May 23, 2024, the album's title and cover art were revealed. A week later, on May 31 the band released the single "Jump Sit Stand March", which features Emily Armstrong of the punk rock band Dead Sara. According to Awolnation's frontman Aaron Bruno, the song is about "overstimulation and being frustrated with having to please everybody’s virtues all at the same time." [2]
Bruno stated that The Phantom Five will most likely be the final Awolnation album, though he may still continue to write music for other projects. [3] He described the record as "almost a 'greatest hits' album, in the sense that it offers something for everyone who has followed the band's arc in its celebrated, shape-shifting way." [4]
On July 19, the band released another single, "I Am Happy" featuring Del the Funky Homosapien.

They're overlooked in many cases, and they shouldn't be. A lot of people who are against all odds and are maybe unnoticed, I think, with all the obstacles end up being stronger and have to find a different way to stand out. That even goes in the music industry as well. It felt like that for me anyways."
