Softcult drop new single, announce UK headline tour

Softcult have just unveiled a new single, Pill To Swallow.

The track is apparently the first look at the duo’s long-awaited debut album, and they call it a “rallying cry for everyone feeling particularly exhausted and burned out by the current state of the world”.

“It’s a reminder to keep pushing for and believing in positive change,” Softcult continue. “As impossible as it can feel sometimes, we can’t allow the current social and political climate to jade us. Even when we feel hopeless and disenfranchised, we can’t slip into apathy or we let the oppressors win.”

Check out Pill To Swallow below:
