LA-based alt-rock veterans Slothrust will release their new album What They Grow In The Garden on 18 September. Ahead of it, they put out two songs at once: Dystopian Cemetery and Twisted Paradise. The first shows the band’s catchiest side. Examining queer romance, it features noted producer/keyboardist Willy Beaman on piano.

Dystopian Cemetery by Slothrust is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
