  "summary": "Irish post-punk band M(h)aol, who recently signed with Merge Records and released their album Something Soft, have shared a new single titled \"Scam Manifesto.\" The single, described as jittery and deadpan, addresses the way one's self-perception can shift after spending excessive time on the internet. Singer and drummer Constance Keane reveals that the song is about feeling a disconnect from one's identity, as expressed in the lyrics, \"I said that I’m worth more, but I’m a liar/I see my limbs and all I want to do is set my house on fire.\" The track features backing vocals from former member Sarah Deegan, now a part of Pixie Cut Rhythm Orchestra.
