Sløtface have shared details of their third album.
A collaboration with producer and songwriter Preben Sælid Andersen, 'Film Buff' will arrive on September 27 via Propeller Recordings, following up 2020's 'Sorry For The Late Reply' and last year's 'Awake/Asleep' EP.
The news follows the Norwegian pop-punks' spring singles Tired Old Dog and Final Gørl, as well as their 2023 collaboration with Aussie band The Buoys, Fight Back Time.
To celebrate the announcement, the group have shared a new song called Ladies Of The Fight, a fiery rock track with scorching vocals from Haley Shea, who wrote the song alongside band members Tobias Maxwell Osland and Simen Følstad Nilsen. She said:
"I wrote the song during a period when I was watching a lot of Selling Sunset on Netflix, and with these characters in mind, along with other TV and film references, Ladies Of The Fight came to be. The song is also heavily inspired by an episode of 30 Rock, where the main character Liz Lemon suddenly stumbles into a 'fight club.' Since the rest of the album is written with a short story approach, I wanted to continue this writing style and based it on the idea of a group of women starting their own 'fight club' as an outlet for their frustrations. The riff in the song felt so powerful, like a battle call to me, so I wanted to write lyrics that matched it but still were silly and fun. The goal is for the song to make you feel like you can achieve anything and take control of any situation. Ladies Of The Fight is tailor-made for summer festival mosh pits. I can’t wait to play it live!"
Sløtface will play 2000trees in July ahead of a UK and Ireland tour in the autumn. Tickets are on sale now.
