Following the recent release of comeback single ‘Telepathetic’, Norway’s premiere punks Sløtface reveal the track’s surreal visuals. As part of a collaboration with local artists, the band perform to bring their artworks to life in bizarre fashion.
Of the video, the band says: “What we really wanted to do was to gather all of our creative friends and acquaintances and create something. Not knowing specifically what we were actually going to get. Our experience is that if you bring talented people together and film it, it will usually be a good music video.
“The song is all about waiting for something good to happen, and we thought the idea of statically waiting as a part of the art would be a funny way to showcase that feeling of stasis. We really can’t say enough times how thankful we are to all of our friends who contributed with art and help with the video, they really made it something really fun and special.”

Having spent the last couple of years relentlessly touring their impressive debut album Try Not To Freak Out, the band returned recently with their first piece of new music since its release, via the blistering new single. Alongside Odd Martin Skålnes (Sigrid, Aurora), the new single marks the first time the band have worked as co-producers, creating their boldest and most immediate moment to date.
The track was broken in with an exclusive premiere on triple j’s Good Nights, with vocalist Haley Shea dialling in from Oslo. Play it back here: Haley Shea of Sløtface reveals details on their next album. Bassist Lasse Lokøy explains:
“It was written in approximately 2 hours, at 11 in the evening, after a full day of recording. Most of us don’t remember any of it because we were so tired”.
Vocalist Haley Shea continues, “the lyrics were something I’d been trying to fit somewhere on the record throughout the process. The song is about the feeling, usually when you’re growing up, or working a job you don’t like, or other halfway points where it just feels like everything good is happening in other places from where you are. It’s about how ineffectual it is to wait around and hope for things to happen, about how you have to make things happen, but also about the silly fear that if you dream about something it might not happen.”
New music in 2019 follows the band’s triumphant debut LP Try Not To Freak Out – an effort celebrated by the likes of Billboard, Consequence of Sound, NME, THE FADER, Stereogum, DIY Magazine
Whilst in the country for BIGSOUND and sold out headline shows in 2017, Sløtface took to the Like A Version studio, with their cover of Lorde’s ‘Supercut’ tallying 300,000 combined views, and landing props from the lead lady herself: Lorde responds to Sløtface’s ‘rad’ cover of ‘Supercut’.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
