A new chapter for Sløtface begins with the news that the band is now the sole creative outlet of Haley Shea, with Lasse and Tor-Arne leaving to focus on new passions.
But that also means brand new music is here as well.
That comes in the form of a double A-side single.
The main focus track is ‘Beta’, A song written in collaboration between Haley and producer Mikhael Paskalev
The result is a slick, intriguing and infectious piece of alt-pop wonderment.
Haley had this to say about it:
“”Beta” was the very first song Mikhael and I worked on together in his studio. It should be listened to while wearing sunglasses, even on cloudy days!
“The song is about wanting to connect with people on a deeper level, but feeling like social media sometimes gets in the way, with things becoming somewhat intimidating, shallow and superficial. The song is a confidence booster for myself where I’m trying to be cooler than I am. It was written at a time when I really, really missed the rush of playing live, and I needed to find some of that spark and edge in myself that only really comes out on stage.”
