Following triple j playlisted singles ‘Telepathetic’and ‘Stuff’, Norway’s Sløtface today announce news of their upcoming second album Sorry for the Late Reply, due for release on January 31, 2020.

On first listen, the track presents as a fierce motivational anthem, but lyrically the track delves deeper, as Shea explains: “sometimes as a woman, or as someone who’s parents immigrated to a country, you just feel like you have to be better than everyone else to be good enough, because you have more to prove.”

The album functions as a complex, wistful condemnation of the U.S., which simultaneously can’t quite shake its heritage. “It felt too simple to say ‘Fuck America’ because that’s not how I feel,” she says. 

A bombastic, multi-faceted exploration of sonic prowess and thoughtful commentary, the long-awaited new album marks the first time the band have acted as co-producers, as they worked alongside Odd Martin Skålnes (Sigrid, Aurora) in creating their most accomplished body of work to date.
