This month, Consequence’s CoSign highlights the Canadian rock duo Softcult and their politically-charged debut album, When a Flower Doesn’t Grow, set to release on January 30th. Comprised of twins Phoenix and Mercedes Arn-Horn, Softcult’s sound juxtaposes soft melodies with intense themes of trauma and injustice. Their lead single, “16/25,” tackles the disturbing power dynamics in predatory relationships, showcasing the duo’s ability to expose harsh realities while maintaining an enveloping sonic warmth.
Given their exploration of such pressing themes, how do you think music can serve as a catalyst for social change, particularly in addressing systemic injustices?
