Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Softcult Releases New Song “One Of The Pack”
Canadian alt-rock duo Softcult, consisting of twin siblings Phoenix and Mercedes Arn-Horn, will release their fourth EP “Heaven” on May 24, 2024 via Easy Life Records.
The EP comprises a 6-track, produced by Phoenix Arn-Horn.
The duo said of the EP, “This EP has an underlying theme, although the songs themselves may seem eclectic and wide-ranging. We wanted to write about the contradictions within our society, what an ideal world looks like, and how close or far we are from achieving that reality.”
From the EP, the duo released the final promotional single called “One Of The Pack” on April 25, 2024.
The track was written by Mercedes Arn-Horn, and Phoenix Arn-Horn who also produced it. The accompanying music video was directed by Mercedes Arn-Horn.- The duo said of the song, “When we wrote this song, we wanted to celebrate women supporting women, and of course that includes POC and transgender women. It's sad that that's something that I feel I need to specify and include in a statement like this, but the truth is there are some TERFs out there trying to exclude certain communities from feminism and even the term 'woman'.”
They continued, “We pride ourselves on being intersectional feminists, even introducing riot grrrl feminism and activism to the shoegaze community in our own way, and we want anyone listening to our music to know that POC, trans women, and non-binary people will always be a welcome and crucial part of our grrrl gang.”
They added, “This song is hopefully one you can sing to your best friend to let them know, 'I know you have to deal with a lot of bullshit from other people, but I will always be here for you. I see you, I'll support you, and I love you.'”
