Soft Play – FKA Slaves – have shared their brutal new single ‘Act Violently’ and announced the new album ‘Heavy Jelly’.The new track follows the previously released ‘Punk’s Dead‘ and ‘Mirror Muscles‘, and takes cues from nu-metal with its taut heaviness and the clean punch of its production.
It also includes elements of Brit punk.According to a press release, the song was inspired by Isaac Holman and Laurie Vincent almost getting hit by an e-scooter as they stepped out of album sessions at The Libertines’ Albion Rooms studio in Margate.“The whole walk back to the studio, we were discussing our contempt for e-scooter drivers.
They should be illegal,” shared Vincent. “They shouldn’t be on the road. They should need a theory test. It was just a rich well to discuss, and the song’s about that.”‘Act Violently’s accompanying music video visualises the track’s narrative, seeing Holman being plagued by the same e-scooter wherever he goes: first almost splattering him as he leaves a shop, then knocking his phone out of his hand in the park and then coming close to running him over on a zebra crossing.
He eventually snaps and vows to cast his vengeance vigilante-style.Soft Play are set to release their fourth studio album ‘Heavy Jelly’ on July 19.
