Slothrust have released a video for their new single Cranium, out now via Dangerbird Records – the band’s first release since 2019.
“I think of Cranium as an absurd mating ritual dance by one of those beautiful complex birds with iridescent tail feathers,” explains bandleader Leah Wellbaum. “Except instead of feathers, I am holding family heirloom tweezers and my hands are coated in honey. It’s sweet, but incredibly uncomfortable and definitely overbearing. The song is about wanting to serve love but not knowing the ‘right’ way to do so— often offering too much, or something unwanted entirely. It is a promise to love both absurdly and impossibly with a heavy sprinkle of pain.”
