Softcult have announced the details of their debut album ‘When A Flower Doesn’t Grow’.
Set for release on January 30, 2026 via Easy Life Records, it includes previously released singles ‘Naive’ and 'Pill To Swallow’, as well as the freshly dropped ’16/25′.
Take a listen to the new track below:
Speaking on ’16/25′, vocalist Mercedes Arn-Horn has shared:
“This song is about the predatory behaviour of older men who groom younger women. It points out the double-standards and impossible expectations the patriarchy places on young women in our society, and the cognitive dissonance that older men who prey on young female targets perpetuate while trying to possess and control them.”
On the band’s debut album, she has added:
“When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower… The truth is, nothing can thrive in an environment where it is stifled. We can’t flourish in environments that are oppressive. We need the world around us to be an environment that encourages us to grow.”
Softcult will hit the road for a UK/EU headline tour this winter.
