Scowl have released a new song, ‘Special’, which accompanies the announcement that they’ve signed to Dead Oceans. It follows the hardcore band’s Psychic Dance Routine EP, which made our list of the best EPs of 2023. The track was produced by Will Yip and mixed by Rich Costey. Check out a video for it below.
“Originally [guitarist] Malachi [Greene] sent in the demo while we were touring the UK,” vocalist Kat Moss explained in a press release. “Cole [Gilbert] added his flare on drums, [bassist] Bailey [Lupo] directed the bridge, and finally [guitarist] Mikey [Bifolco] cooked up his leads. ‘Special’ is a kamikaze. The lyrics are about threatening the audience by asking ‘what do you really want?’ in clear desperation to answer my own question ‘What do I really want?’ But the answer is simple, I want to feel alive.”
