Softcult have shared 'Dress', a song "about saying 'no' and having it happen to you anyway"

Softcult have dropped a brand new track, 'Dress'.

Continuing their trend of being able to tackle the serious subjects, it's described as the darkest song on the duo's upcoming EP 'See You in the Dark', set to drop on 24th March.

The track comes alongside a video, directed by Mercedes and starring Sam Bielanski (PONY). You can check it out below (tw: sexual assault).

The EP's title - 'See You in the Dark' is inspired by Nietzsche's famous quote: “Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”.

“It is an analogy for the things we’re afraid to face. 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”, Mercedes says. “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?”
