Told Slant – “Draw Blood”
Last month Told Slant announced their new record What's Up and released the lead single " Manhattan ." Today the NYC indie mainstay is back with some more quintessential NYC indie, this time in the form of a beautiful yet bleak song called "Draw Blood." The post Told Slant – “Draw Blood” appeared first on Stereogum .
Told Slant, a NYC indie band, has released a new song titled "Draw Blood". The track is part of their upcoming record, "What's Up", which is set to be released on September 4th via Mtn. Laurel Recording Co. The lead single from the record, "Manhattan", was previously released. In an interview, Felix Walworth, a member of Told Slant, expressed that there is a sense of overwhelming frustration and grievances on the record.
He explained that he chose to express these feelings through religious appeals, stating, "When you are defeated entirely, what do you have other than prayer?" The lyrics of "Draw Blood" are described as having a psalm-like quality, weaving together mundanity and fantasy with masterful imagery. The guitars in the song are described as dejected yet hypnotic. The band's new album is mentioned to be a quintessential example of NYC indie music.
