Justin Sullivan, founder of the band, singer and principal songwriter commented: “John Sevigny is an old friend who has spent 20 years taking extraordinary portrait photographs, mostly in Central America. His pictures are incredibly alive and his subjects display an embrace of life combined with a certain attitude. They work perfectly with everything we wanted to say in the song.”
The band begin their European tour in support of their brand new album From Here, described by Record Collector as “powerful, majestic, positive and ultimately uplifting” (4/5), and is their highest ever charting album in Germany (6), UK (13) and Switzerland (19), this evening in Southampton.
Justin states,"We're really looking forward to playing the songs live for the first time, knowing that by Christmas, they will have developed a life of their own. And with everything that's happening in the World these days, gigs seem generally more charged as if people need these kinds of gatherings more than ever."
From Here was recorded earlier this year on the tiny Norwegian island of Giske at the beautiful Ocean Sound Recordings studio and reflects the spectacular isolation of that environment yet has profound messages for the world we all live in and the times we are experiencing.

From Here is available as a CD Hardcover Media Book, Double 180g-Vinyl Gatefold and Digital and can be purchased here: https://earmusic.lnk.to/NewModelArmy_FromHerePR
A Strictly Limited 2LP Splattered Vinyl-Edition, a Limited 7” Vinyl Single and various bundles is be available via an exclusive direct to consumer web shop.
