Scars in the Vein feat. Thalia Zekek Available EVERYWHERE

The single is a poetic rant on the ineffectuality of performative activism set to anthemic art rock and layered with noise. Everyone voices an opinion on social media and thinks that constitutes political action. New media outlets pop up routinely claiming to offer a fresh perspective while shamelessly ripping off the old ones. What should have been the democratization of the internet, an amplification of disenfranchised voices in new media and an embrace of political engagement and discussion is wasted on trolls, dishonest politicking and half assed hot takes. The track posits the idea that maybe everyone doesn’t need an opinion on everything and we'd be better served shutting the fuck up for a second to listen. Your online voice isn't political action if it's never backed up in real life. It's static and distortion, distraction and garbage. Yeah, it's about all that stuff.

Eldridge Rodriguez were ecstatic to have Thalia Zedek contribute vocals to the track. She is a national treasure and we are all lucky to be living in the same timeline as she is. We're all fans of Thalia's. She is the best and her vocals add so much to the song. If you squint you can see Thalia and Cameron hidden in the cover art. Fun stuff.
