Dark indie quartet Dead Slow Hoot tackle toxic insecurities in new single ‘Low Road’
Heading down a darker road than usual, ‘Low Road’ explores toxic insecurities while reassuring listeners that tough times do get easier.
Bringing you up to speed, Dead Slow Hoot are a Sheffield/London based quartet that specialise in creating indie music with a twist of dark post-punk sensibilities.
The bands follow up to their previous single ‘Taller Tree’ hears the four-piece in a new light.
Sharing his thoughts on the release, vocalist Hugo Lynch tells us, “I wrote Low Road in the midst of what turned out to be a personality crisis and it kind of earmarked the onset of a really toxic insecurity where I was so eager to relate to new people that I would sideline other people in my life and just act out in pretty cruel ways.
It’s summed up in the lines. ‘I’m using outside to colour my cheeks and leaving myself just out of reach’.
It’s a companion song to Taller Tree in subject matter, but written from a much darker place because, at the time, I didn’t even realise it was about myself.”
“Low Road” is out worldwide tomorrow, but you can hear it exclusively at the top of this page.
Taken from their highly anticipated new EP ‘A Kinder Kind’, which will be out on 17th June via Philophobia Music, Dead Slow Hoot are a remarkable outfit that should be on everyone’s radar.
