Softcult have shared one final song from their upcoming EP Heaven.
With a month to go until the release of the record, the duo have
today unveiled new single One Of The Pack – and, as with all things
Softcult, it sends a very important message.
“When we wrote this song, we wanted to celebrate women
supporting women, and of course that includes POC and transgender women,” reads
a joint statement from the band. “It’s sad that that’s something that I feel I
need to specify and include in a statement like this, but the truth is there
are some TERFs out there trying to exclude certain communities from feminism
and even the term ‘woman’.
“We pride ourselves on being intersectional feminists, even
introducing riot grrrl feminism and activism to the shoegaze community in our
own way, and we want anyone listening to our music to know that POC, trans
women, and non-binary people will always be a welcome and crucial part of our
grrrl gang.
“This song is hopefully one you can sing to your best friend to
let them know, ‘I know you have to deal with a lot of bullshit from other
people, but I will always be here for you. I see you, I’ll support you, and I
love you.’”
