Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties will release the third chapter in their saga, a new album called In Lieu Of Flowers, on April 12. Today they share a new song in “Paying Bills at the End of the World,” a bleak, blue-collar ballad about living paycheck-to-paycheck. The song is set on Long Island where Aaron retreats to when he and his band can no longer tour to make a living.

“I’ve been having that dream where I’m dying again /
The one where I get sick and we can’t afford it /
I’ve been walking around here with no health insurance /
We can barely keep the lights on as it is”

Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties will take the new album on tour across the US and UK this spring, and all tickets are on sale now. Livestream tickets for their sold out album release show on April 11 in Asbury Park, NJ are also available to bundle with the album pre-order here.
