What to Do When You Are Dead, Armor for Sleep's second album, came out on Equal Vision Records on February 22, 2005, and it's a full-blown concept record from the Teaneck, New Jersey, band. Ben Jorgensen wrote a couple of songs from the point of view of a dead man, then kept going until he had a whole story: its protagonist's suicide and the strange journey through the afterlife that follows it.
Machine produced it between August and October 2004, and the band, Jorgensen on vocals and guitar with PJ DeCicco on guitar, Anthony DiIonno on bass and Nash Breen on drums, wraps the heavy subject in shimmering, atmospheric emo and pop-punk hooks. "Car Underwater" was the radio single, and "The Truth About Heaven" got a video. It sold more than 200,000 copies, and the band celebrated its 10th anniversary with a run of shows in 2015.
