#34 Frosted Tuna - Arrival
Released April 2nd, 2015
Genre: Emo/Hardcore Punk/Indie
The sixth and final album by Frosted Tuna. Production for this album started in 2013, and finalized in 2015.

The album was originally called "Songs About Being Alone", but was changed halfway through recording. The album is loosely based on the concept of life and death, suicide, and psychological episodes and disorders. In the inlay, it is mentioned by the artist that this is going to be their last album, declaring their breakup. Even with the hint at a breakup, the band continues to make music, and appeared on the holiday compilation at the end of 2015
