New Jersey based indie rock band Titus Andronicus has announced the release of their forthcoming album The Will To Live which is set to arrive on September 30 via Merge. They have also released a new song and accompanying music video for “(I’m) Screwed.”

Vocalist Patrick Stickles explained that the creation of the album was an attempt to work through the grief of losing his cousin, founding keyboardist Matt “Money” Miller who passed away last year. Stickles offered: ““Loved ones we have lost are really not lost at all, as they, and we still living, are all component pieces of a far larger continuous organism, which both precedes and succeeds our illusory individual selves, united through time by (you guessed it) the will to live.” 

 The band will be going on a North American tour this fall with the kick off on September 24 in Atlantic City, New Jersey at the Frantic City Festival. They will travel through North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Ohio before performing in Ontario and Quebec. The band will make their triumphant return to the U.S. with a show in Woodstock, New York on October 21 before continuing their trek in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire. They will end their tour in Boston at the Crystal Ballroom on October 27.
