Ekko Astral are back with the new song “Horseglue.” The single arrives with a black-and-white music video directed by John Lee and the band’s Jael Holzman. Watch it below.
“‘Horseglue’ is a screeching call for moral clarity,” Holzman explained in a statement. “Anything short of courage against the rise of the New Authoritaria is complicity. It is important to focus on how integral the Messengers really are, and that some of them are the 1%, too. They are rich and they are happy without consequence, as a vast majority of us suffer in the shadows of the unknown.”
“Horseglue” follows Ekko Astral’s 2024 debut, Pink Balloons, and its companion EP, Pink Balloons: Popped.
