Slung announce debut album ‘In Ways’
SLUNG have announced their debut album!
Titled In Ways, the upcoming album from the emerging alternative grunge band is their debut full-length album and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Fat Dracula.
The news of the debut album comes on the back of recent singles Fire To Burn and Neurotic, which were released in November and September last year.
Vocalist Katie Oldham communicates that one of her personal missions for the band relates to representation, inclusion, sisterhood and women being a more dominant force in music, whether that’s on stage, behind the scenes or in the crowd. She says, “my love for women knows no bounds. Everything I do, I do for the girlies, the women and the female gaze exclusively. (This extends of course to ALL women inclusively, no TERF bullshit here.) There is just an unparalleled magical feeling when you’re around liberated, electrifying women who speak with honesty and clarity and without fear. The world is built to try and make us resent, envy and destroy each other, and I LOVE those moments where we realise we are more alike than what divides us. I want to be around women all the time, to be inspired by them, to connect with them and to share and to bond and unite.”
Alongside the announcement of the debut album, SLUNG have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming debut album; Laughter. Speaking about the new song, Oldham shares, “this song is about a face-off that’s been a long time coming, and the difficult relationships we can have with members of our family, especially our parents. When we’re children we’re so desperate for our parents’ attention and approval that their dismissal or rejection can feel agonising. With an emotionally absent parent, trying desperately to earn love or consideration from someone who isn’t capable of giving it can be so destructive. This hurt can often develop into resentment as we age and we may even later villainise this person, wanting to fight, confront, defeat them.”
