To DIe For
“With the release of rousing new single “To Die For,” Arlo McKinley delivers another brazen taste of rust belt rock and roll.”
Stealing Dark From the Night Sky
“The first single from Arlo McKinley’s upcoming album, This Mess We’re In. Animated by Matt Reynolds.”
DIe Midwestern
“McKinley’s Die Midwestern, is deeply rooted in street soul, country, punk and gospel and draws on personal stories, set against the backdrop of his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio.”
Bag of Pills
The oldest song on the Die Midwestern album, was first written when the opioid came into the Midwest and Cincinnati very heavily. The drug has taken the lives of people McKinley has cared about, which birthed this gripping ballad of heartbreak and hope.
Walking Shoes
“It’s the most hopeful song of the lot, a relaxed country-rocker that sees McKinley bidding farewell to past mistakes and trying to move forward.”
She’s Always Around
A “heart-on-your-sleeve country lament” (Zaillian) about wanting the things you don’t need, supported by McKinley’s high and lonesome vocals.
