Softcult have shared new single ‘Pill to Swallow’ ahead of their debut album

Softcult have released their new single ‘Pill To Swallow’ via Easy Life Records, marking the first glimpse of their upcoming debut album.

The Ontario-based sibling duo, comprising Mercedes (she/her) and Phoenix (they/them) Arn-Horn, have recently completed production on their first full-length record, which they self-produced in their home studio over six months.

“Pill To Swallow is a rallying cry for everyone feeling particularly exhausted and burned out by the current state of the world,” the band share. “It’s a reminder to keep pushing for and believing in positive change. As impossible as it can feel sometimes, we can’t allow the current social and political climate to jade us. Even when we feel hopeless and disenfranchised, we can’t slip into apathy or we let the oppressors win.”

The band have also announced a UK headline tour for late 2025. The dates in full read:
