SMUT UNBROKEN THOUGHT

Chicago band Smut have released a new single 'Unbroken Thought' from their upcoming album How The Light Felt due out November 11th via Bayonet Records. The track has a distinctly 90s feel, opening with melodic guitars that mix with swirling affected vocals and shimmering electronic tones. "This is a love song!," vocalist Tay Roebuck says. "It stretches from pre-relationship to mid-relationship and the sort of mystical destiny that can bring people together. The first verse is before our couple has met, where they don’t realize that they are wandering and lost. Not necessarily looking for each other but when they finally meet? They are done for. The second verse is about them finally feeling the missing pieces filled. They are doing mundane day-to-day life but new life is given to it just by holding hands and knowing they’ve found each other.” The track comes with a video directed by the bands drummer Aidan O'Connor featuring hazy nighttime shots of the band in a neon lit fairground. -Toby Evans-Jesra
