Cloud Nothings have previewed their upcoming album Final Summer with a new song called ‘Silence’. It follows previous cuts ‘Running Through the Campus’, ‘I’d Get Along’, and the title track. Check it out below.
“I wrote this song after reading that Samuel Alito’s Roe v. Wade opinion tried to justify banning abortion with quotes from a guy who literally burned women at the stake for being ‘witches’ in the 1600s,” vocalist/guitarist Dylan Baldi explained in a statement. “Like, how stupid do you have to be to think that a guy like that has said anything worth listening to at all? It’s wild that you can be a Supreme Court justice and also be an idiot. So I made ‘Silence’ about how sometimes you feel powerless watching bad people run the world, but that hopefully in the end you can find a way to live by decent values in whatever place you’re in.”
Final Summer is due for release on April 19 via Pure Noise Records.
