Slung release new music video for ‘Thinking About It’

SLUNG have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Thinking About It, is taken from the emerging alternative grunge band’s upcoming debut album, In Ways, which is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Fat Dracula.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Katie Oldham says, “the working title for this song was Tasty Girl, because every time I tried to improvise on lyrics, they ended up coming out like sleazy pick up lines from an old womanizer. In the end, we decided to just roll with that vibe and tell that story but from the perspective of a female lothario out on the prowl.

Bringing references to queerness in our songs is important to me, because myself and the majority of my friends identify as queer, despite mostly presenting femme and straight-passing. I don’t feel the need to draw attention to it specifically, and don’t feel it appropriate to represent myself as a ‘queer voice’, but I still want to create a little space in whatever I do to honour it, as it’s an important part of who I am. The theme is also pretty representative of bisexual panic, meeting a girl and realising you’re thinking about it, and wondering if she’s thinking about it too.

Mostly, though, I imagine this as like my flamboyant alter ego. I just love the idea of this super egoic, confident, yet non-threatening lothario who believes they’re irresistible. Yet at the same time they have this charmingly endearing vulnerability. It’s such a goofy song that hopefully offers some light-hearted relief to some of the heavier vibes of the record.”
