“You Ominously End is about the shame and isolation of dealing with mental illness, especially when you feel unable to check in on loved ones who are also struggling,” explains vocalist and guitarist Allen Steinberg. “When writing this song, I focused on capturing that isolating experience through vivid storytelling. The tragic theme of the song is contrasted by country/folk elements, creating a jarring effect. This contrast makes it one of our personal favourite tracks by Arm’s Length.”

“You Ominously End” follows “Funny Face”, which was released upon the announcement of the new album. The single ignited excitement in fans as they praised its raw lyricism and contagious energy, while critics have highlighted the band’s ability to craft a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new. The song can be heard here and the music video can be seen here.
Building on the emotional rawness and introspection of their debut, ‘Never Before Seen, Never Again Found’, the new album finds the band pushing their boundaries, offering a deeper exploration of personal trauma, love, loss, and the resilience that emerges from navigating life’s darkest moments. Their debut album marked them as an indie band to watch, conjuring praise from writers at SPIN, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, Exclaim!, and Loudwire among others.
Produced once again by Anton DeLost, who worked with the band on their previous releases, There’s A Whole World Out There marks a significant evolution for Arm’s Length. While Steinberg wrote the bulk of the material solo, the full band—guitarist Jeremy White, bassist Ben Greenblatt, and drummer Jeff White—helped bring these songs to life in the studio, with additional contributions from Bonnie Brooksbank (strings) and Alex Scalzo-Brown (piano).
Steinberg’s personal struggles, which he openly addressed in his songwriting, are central to the album’s creation. He confesses that during the period leading up to the writing of this record, he was “the most mentally ill” he had ever been. Yet, it was precisely through confronting these intense experiences that the album came to life with such urgency and honesty. “The songs aren’t written for anyone else at all,” he says, emphasising the raw, unfiltered emotion that drives the record’s sound and lyrics.
