LIttle Scream's New "People"- Listen

Today, Little Scream, moniker of Montreal-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumental musician and artist Laurel Sprengelmeyer, shared “People,” a song whose lyrics “Come on, people! What’s wrong with us people?!” take on new urgency in the uncertain times we are facing. Moved by frustration with the “apathy, privilege, and cynicism” of her generation, Laurel Sprengelmeyer recorded this song during the sessions for the Cult Following album, with Richard Reed Parry on synths and Mark Wheaton on drums. Stereogum premiered the track declaring it a "battle cry." Little Scream will donate all proceeds from the sale of this track to ACLU and Planned Parenthood.

See the deer by the side of the road?
Its broken spindly legs…
Someone else was driving.
This is the burden of our age.
—from “People” by Little Scream

Little Scream Shares "The Kissing"

 Today, Little Scream brings us “The Kissing,” the third single from the Merge Records,  Cult Following The song builds slowly to showcase a blazing guitar and vocal solo and features TV On The Radio’s Kyp Malone as the voice of a Magic 8 Ball with the power to give eerily specific answers.

In their premiere of the track, Consequence of Sound wrote:

What opens as a dejected acoustic track is slowly laced with bold rage through the first pair of verses. It’s there in the beating percussion, the suddenly ringing guitar strums, and the heavy yet contained chaos of the choruses. But underneath all the dark coatings is the all too frustratingly real damage of failed love, echoed in the disconsolate harmony provided by TV on the Radio’s Kyp Malone on the phrase, “It’s time to stop doing some things in the rain/ Especially the kissing.”

“The Kissing” joins the dance-pop heaven of “Love as a Weapon” and emotional heft of “Someone Will Notice” in continuing to unlock the inner psyche of Little Scream through her sensational new album, Cult Following . The CD is available to pre-order now, for the May 5 street date.
