Equal Vision Records/Civilians and Slothrust are pleased to present Dystopian Cemetery and Twisted Paradise, two brand new singles lifted from the Friday 18 September release of What They Grow In The Garden, the new studio album from the acclaimed LA-based alt-rock veterans, that examine queer romance and sleep paralysis.
“Do not forget the delights that are possible within your own mind,” Leah Wellbaum of Slothrust says of Dystopian Cemetery, a song featuring a collaboration with noted producer/keyboardist Willy Beaman. “Tap back into the freedom mindset you felt as a child and follow what charms you. Pull on the threads of curiosity and let them lead you to the magic of your consciousness.”
Of Twisted Paradise, Wellbaum adds, “I have always been incredibly impacted by my dreams — I have experienced profound healing from my dreams, as well as incredibly disturbing mental states that linger for days. This song examines the beauty and the horror of the subconscious mind when it is let off its leash at night when we go to sleep.”
