Norway's Sløtface are poised to take over summertime soundwaves both in the US and abroad with the release of their highly anticipated debut album Try Not To Freak Out September 15 via Propeller Recordings. With accolades from FADER, CNN, VICE's Noisey, Consequence of Sound, Paste Magazine, BrooklynVegan, NYLON and many more for breakout tracks "Magazine" and "Nancy Drew," the band had revealed the blistering pop punk anthem "Pitted" with Alternative Press today. "Pitted" is a tough-hearted caper and brilliant introvert's anthem about not wanting to go out, but having the greatest night when you do.
Try Not To Freak Out is a massive rock record - one that weds their behemoth pop exuberance with epic punk chops. Guitars gleam, choruses soar, and Halvard's racing drums exude pure adrenaline. Haley's forceful, firework-spitting punk slices through you with an immediacy and confidence of someone several records in. Her lyrics aren't explicitly gendered, but she transcends indie rock bravado and self-pity, instead aiming to dismantle the patriarchal structures that hurt society and block progress. Whether it's a love song from an unexpected perspective or a critique on power and ego, the foursome's message and undeniably catchy riffs have inspired critics and fans across the globe.Photo credit: Martin Høye
