Slothrust Master Misdirect of ‘Hiding Behind Your Tombstone’

Slothrust exemplify how colorful, fun and insightful rock music can be over the course of one song. Need proof? Check out their new jam, "Like a Child Hiding Behind Your Tombstone." The song starts with a great misdirect — singer Leah Wellbaum reflecting over a lilting little acoustic piece — and then drops the elbow. It's an anthemic kind of thing: easy to roll with for a while, but just as the song revs up, it swiftly changes back to the melody. The twists never feel wrong or out of place; "Like a Child" goes with the flow of what feels right at the time, offering both undeniable rockiness and strange metaphor. The best kind of weird.
