Trauma Queen, the sophomore album new Brooklyn art punk quartet, Slut Magic, comes out October 30th, 2020, and it has been introduced with a couple of singles thus far, the latest of which is the angsty and emotive Salsa Red.
The new song finds the band exploring their garage punk grit as it converges with their glam rock properties, and results to the shiny sound which has turned heads their way in the first place. Salsa Red appears extremely memorable, yet, lyrically privy and intimate, offering a peek at vocalist and violinist Emma Sky's high school bedroom.
Slut Magic are Emma Sky (vocals, violin), Hot Boyfriend (guitar), Shannon Zakarison (drums), and Marc Hall (bass). The band released their first album, In My Mouth, in 2018 though Laruicci Records, and went on to establish a good reputation through their live presence which was also shown off via a UK tour. From all sounds and appearances, Trauma Queen already seems like an admirable successor to Slut Magic's striking start.
