SLØTFACE // Release New Single + Video, ‘Nancy Drew’

Sløtface have given us another taste of their upcoming debut album Try Not To Freak Out with a big double whammy, releasing their new single the hard hitting Nancy Drew.

The fiery feminists have reimagined the iconic teen detective in Nancy Drew with vocalist Haley Shea bringing her to life as the noble vanquisher of indie rock’s boys’ club.

“The song is about this super hero I tried to create that’s based on the fictional character – Nancy Drew”, says Hayley.

“The lyrics are an attempt at making a song that has a more positive spin on an album that is mostly about things I’m nervous about, or things that are worrying in general. For this song I wanted to create a kind of superhero saviour, so I drew inspiration from Nancy Drew and tried to imagine a bad-ass superhero who crushes the music industry’s boys’ club and the patriarchy with one punch.”

Norwegian illustrator, jellyvamps (aka Ida Neverdahl) came up with the clever concept behind the lyric video for Nancy Drew.

“Ida came up with the idea to make the lyric video for Nancy Drew about all of the tinder cliches you come across online,” the band says.

“Guys petting an exotic animal, guys mountain climbing, and illustrating them all in cool clever ways. We loved the idea and just let her run with it, and are super pleased with the final product.”

Sløtface are led by vocalist Haley Shea with guitarist Tor-Arne Vikingstad, bassist Lasse Lokøy and Halvard Skeie Wiencke on drums, and their debut album Try Not To Freak Out is out 15 September via Caroline Australia. You’ll also be able to catch them in Australia in September at two exclusive shows in Sydney and Melbourne. Details are below!
