Slowcoaches have released a video for their new single, Complex.
The track is the first taste of their sophomore album, the follow up to 'Nothing Gives', which is expected to arrive next year via Leisure & District. It will also get a 7" release later this year, backed with a cover of Fang’s The Money Will Roll Right In.
Speaking about the song, vocalist and bassist Heather Perkins said:
“The music industry really feeds toxic masculinity by putting male artists on a pedestal. Complex is a response to the sexual assault allegations against artists that were in the press at the time I wrote it. There's still a really dirty side to the industry - particularly with the encouragement and portrayal of male artists in rock music to god-like status. All too often, the system is adhering to an archaic, misogynistic interpretation of 'punk' that makes guys think they're invincible, that they have an authority over women's bodies.
It sweeps the artists up, way out of their depth, and then there's no one there to support them in dealing with this stuff in the right way when they eventually get called out. We came up with the concept of the video when we were talking about this - the idea of a split self - that there are parts of the personality that are always hidden from view. Pulling the curtain away, kind of peeling back those layers - the bright light exposing all the grubby stuff underneath.”
The trio will kick off their autumn headline tour next week in Liverpool and will conclude it on November 2 at Kamio in London.
