Moreish Idols debut new single “Slouch”
Moreish Idols have shared a new single titled “Slouch”. The track follows their previous release “Pale Blue Dot”, which marked Speedy Wunderground’s 50th 7” single and the band’s first new material since the release of their two EPs Float and Lock Eyes and Collide. The single is accompanied by a “Lotus Flower”-esque video, which feature Lilley freely dancing against a spotlight.
Written in response to singer and guitarist Jude Lilley’s chronic illness, Ankylosing spondylitis – an autoimmune disease that causes arthritis in the pelvis and the spine – the track is a deeply personal and existential look into how we are able to adjust to the trials and tribulations of life.
Speaking on the track, Lilley says, “To be told you have something for life can be daunting and scary, but you must be reminded how lucky you are when there is a system of care. This process forced a reconsideration of what has been taken for granted and presented the opportunity to rejuvenate oneself in a way that surpasses physical form. There is no cure but there are ways to adapt with the help of medication, and if you can keep going, it’s just another card that’s been dealt. In a way, Slouch is a love letter to the NHS, a thank you for making this slouching king feel pretty.”
