Written and created under the most extreme circumstances, Angel Miners And The Lightning Riders is Bruno’s boldest and best album yet. After the tragic Woolsey fires tore through Bruno’s hometown of Malibu, taking with them the home studio that represented a lifetime spent making art as AWOLNATION, Bruno began writing the album as a means of self-betterment and dealing with extreme fear, depression, and anxiety. “The fire was a reminder of how horrifying life can be,” he says.

The song “Slam (Angel Miners),” with its line “there’s always someone looking over you,” provides a lyrical tension that forms the backbone of the album as a whole. It’s a prime example of opposing mentalities and the struggle between light and dark. “Any given day I feel one way or the other,” says Bruno. “The whole album is about flitting between those two states of mind.” The video is a mixed media animated music video created by director and animator Cole Higgins. Its bold look incorporates stop motion animation, computer animated heads and live actors shot on a green screen.
