Canadian twins Softcult have announced an upcoming EP, ‘See You In The Dark’, with the new single, ‘Drain’.

The duo, Mercedes (She/Her) and Phoenix Arn-Horn (They/Them) have released several EPs over the last two years, garnering attention far beyond their home country. Their new project will delve into inner darkness, while its lead single explores dark choices that are out of our control.

On ‘Drain’, Mercedes has said: “it’s disgusting how making a profit is a higher priority for those in power than a sustainable environment. Seeing hollow shows of performative “action” from these world leaders and multi-million dollar companies that don’t offer any actual solutions just adds to my frustration, because it feels like we’re being manipulated and lied to in the most disgustingly condescending way.”

“There are people out there who could end world hunger right now in exchange for 10% less of their billions,” she continues. “There are legislations that could reverse climate change in time to save this dying planet and spare future generations a pretty horrific existence. But these bloated fucking dragons would rather die hoarding more wealth than they could ever spend in a lifetime than part with a little to help save the world. To think these billionaires actually give a shit about us or our quality of life is just naive. So because of the one percent’s greed, their legacy will be our eventual extinction.”

‘See You In The Dark’ will arrive on March 24th via Easy Life Records, and also includes the previous single, ‘One Of A Million’. 

“It is an analogy for the things we’re afraid to face,” Mercedes has declared. “It represents confronting our innermost fears, usually in those vulnerable moments lying awake at night when our minds are racing. It’s sort of an acknowledgement of our darkness, and the darkness of others, like “hey, I see you”.

“While it’s important to acknowledge our darkness, we also can’t submit to it. We have to strive to be better people, and leave behind a legacy of positive change. I think it’s important to do everything we can to try and make a positive impact on the world, even when that feels impossible. Because if we don’t at least try, who will?”
