New Entry: Wildhoney Drop New Song "Horror Movie"

Baltimore shoegaze/dream pop band Wildhoney have dropped their new song "Horror Movie".

It is taken from the upcoming Slumberland Records/Fortuna POP! four-way compilation 'Continental Drift', featuring The Spook School, Tigercats and The Mercury Girls, set to be released on August 25. Pre-order your copy here.

About the track, the band explained: "'Horror Movie' weaves dark lyrical content with an upbeat tempo and cheerful pop melody, reflecting the experience of trying to process trauma without the luxury of time and space to fall apart. The song also evokes a sense of triumph upon arriving at a point of clarity, resisting the ongoing, relentless urge to blame oneself for an abusive relationship, and coming out on the other side stronger and wiser than before."
