LISTEN HERE
LISTEN HEREOntario-based modern grunge sibling duo Softcult have today released their new single
Naive
via Easy Life Records.
Following the recent release of their searing shoegaze anthem Pill To Swallow and the announcement that production on their highly anticipated debut full-length album is officially complete, Softcult return with Naive - a track that delves deep into disillusionment and emotional clarity.
Speaking about the song, the band explain, “It’s about coming to the painful realization that the person, idea, or reality we trusted and believed in never really existed in the first place. This song is about the moment the scales fall from our eyes after we realize we’ve been romanticising someone or the idea of someone. After this moment we’re no longer able to see them or the world as innocently as we did before.”watch softcult's ‘Naive’ (Official Music Video) below:![Softcult - Naive [official video]](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1752133750i/37051446._SX540_.jpg)
Photo: Mercedes Arn-HornSoftcult's music is a consistent reminder that the revolution is very much alive. Last year's Heaven EP flipped the concept of an afterlife on its head, calling out contradictions of a world fixated on the future while ignoring the very real need for change in the present. It landed them on the cover of Spotify's MARROW playlist (over 4.7 million followers), and brought them on tour across North America, UK, Europe, Australia & Southeast Asia.
Born in the studio and free from the industry's constraints, Softcult has been busy carving out their own universe. They've been championed by artists like Hayley Williams and Oli Sykes, opened for massive bands like Incubus and MUSE, and highlighted as a band to watch by Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Paste, Consequence, Alternative Press, Kerrang!, CBC, The Gay Times, and more.
And they do it all themselves––Phoenix leads production, engineering, and artwork, while Mercedes writes, produces, directs and edits their deeply personal and impactful videos. Embracing a fully DIY ethos, they create and produce their own monthly zine, SCripture , and remain actively engaged with their fan community through the Softcult Discord server.
