Multi-platinum-selling rock band All Time Low released their 9th studio album, “Tell Me I’m Alive” on Friday via Fueled By Ramen. Now available on all streaming platforms, the highly anticipated 13-track album is All Time Low’s first full-length album in three years and ushers in an exciting new era for the band.
Recorded in Los Angeles and Aspen with longtime collaborators Zakk Cervini [blink-182, Machine Gun Kelly, Halsey] and Andrew Goldstein [Maroon 5, Katy Perry, Jxdn], the album is a gut punch of renegade riffs and intense introspection that finds the band reaching thrilling new heights of creativity. Highlighted tracks include the new soul-baring chant-along focus track “Calm Down,” as well as the previously released “Sleepwalking,” which hit No. 1 at Alternative Radio and surpassed 10 million streams, the emotional title track “Tell Me I’m Alive,” and “Modern Love,” the anti-dating anthem ironically released on Valentine’s Day.
Of the album, frontman Alex Gaskarth states, “‘Tell Me I’m Alive’ is an exploration of loneliness, isolation, and coping with the pitfalls of a world that feels like it’s out to get you after collectively going through several very tumultuous years kicked off by the pandemic. It is not a ‘pandemic record,’ per se, but written on the heels of such a life-changing event, its themes are certainly focused through and informed by that lens; Some songs echo defiance and a desire to escape, others are reflective and remorseful over lost time and longing for deeper connections and deeper meaning. We wanted to instill a hopeful tone, but ultimately this album is about dealing with hopelessness and surviving. We hope our fans find comfort in the understanding that even at our lowest points, there can be forward motion, growth, the strength to let go of what no longer serves us, and ultimately a message of resilience.”
