Slothrust, “Burn The Deck”

Slothrust recently announced the Dystopian Theatre Tour, a run of US shows with Um, Jennifer and the Velveteers. To celebrate, the band is sharing a new track called "Burn The Deck."

"'Burn The Deck' is a song encouraging people to dismantle the current systems keeping them in a cage of their own making," Leah Wellbaum and Will Gorin say of the song. "It's a surrealist disruptor's anthem that beckons listeners to carefully consider what they are consuming and challenge their notion of who is really driving."
