Today, Slothrust — the duo composed of principal songwriter, guitar player, and unrepentant aesthete Leah Wellbaum and drummer Will Gorin — shares the music video for track “Maybe Maybe,” from recently released I Promise EP, out now via Dangerbird Records. The long-running act blends genres with aplomb and has always brought a sophisticated style of songcraft. With many hook-laden jams, they blunt none of the impact from their philosophical lyrics and catchy vocals. Their new EP I Promise is a must for your playlist. Watch the clip for “Maybe Maybe” here at Ghost Cult!
“Maybe Maybe” considers what it means to be a human caught in the forever wheel of neurosis, and the possibility of finding peace and sovereignty in an erotic connection to nature. In other words, as the duo wrote: “‘Maybe Maybe’ is about feeling a stronger erotic connection to nature than to other people. Lyrically, it is born from a non-dualistic space and a deep desire to be in connection with the cosmos and dramatic weather.”

Slothrust recently unveiled their EP entitled I Promise, out now via Dangerbird Records. A key part of the tracklisting is the band’s standout cover of Ginuwine’s “Pony,” on which they shamelessly wield and respect the track’s raunchy nature and punch it up with a sludgy musicality, praised by outlets such as Billboard, Consequence, and Stereogum, and additionally added to the official Spotify ‘Rock Covers’ playlist.
In addition to their EP release last fall, Slothrust has embarked on a tour in celebration of the 10-Year Anniversary of their release, Of Course You Do. The upcoming second leg of the tour features continued support from Weakened Friends.
