Scrounge share new single "Corner Cutting Boredom"
Scrounge return with their first new music of 2023 with the release of "Corner Cutting Boredom".
Today, South London's Scrounge share new single, "Corner Cutting Boredom", as the first release following their 2022 debut album, Sugar, Daddy.
On the track, the band said ""'Corner Cutting Boredom' is the start of a new phase of the band – bringing in more texture, more of the industrial and electronic influences that we've always loved, than ever before, but hopefully retaining the intensity and emotion that makes this a cathartic project to be part of. We're really excited about where we're going next with this, and we hope you get something out of it too.”
The track is accompanied by a handmade zine featuring many of their friends from the South London scene, including Liv Wynter, Italia 90, Toby Evans-Jesra, Baggio, Amanda Tooke and more.
The single is available as a digital download as well as a limited edition zine and flexi disc. On the project, state51 say: "This zine is a snapshot of the south London scene we love so much. We’re extremely grateful to have found ourselves living and working within a grassroots community that's inclusive, accessible, radical and loads of fun. Bands, artists, organisers, writers, agitators, promoters, friends – it's got it all.
The zine documents and celebrates what's going on south of the river and, although this is our small thank you, we're pleased to be a tiny part of something much bigger."
