Following the release of “Pill To Swallow,” “Naive,” and “16/25,” Softcult has just unveiled “She Said, He Said.” The grunge-laced track is both dreamy and aggressive…a delectable and raw takedown of patriarchal standards, “nice guys,” and victim-blaming. This single is set to appear on their debut full-length record, When A Flower Doesn’t Grow, due on January 30, 2026, via Easy Life Records.

Limited edition, printed-on-demand. Designed by Beepus (Beauty School Dropout) with creative direction from The Paradox. A collaboration capturing the energy of their debut EP NSFW and the future of alternative music.
Mercedes Arn-Horn notes, “We chose an interrogation room setting to capture the feeling of ‘making a case’ for our truth to be heard and believed. We included some Easter eggs referencing other videos from this album cycle, which represent a common theme of patriarchal oppression and abuse. The clues displayed as evidence on the interrogation room table lead directly to the anonymous male characters in other videos (Naive, 16/25). However, the detective fails to make the connection, blinded by patriarchal bias, and instead casts suspicion and classically blames the victim.”

Sharing more on the album, the siblings share on Instagram, “When we started, we had no expectations, no assurances of what the future might hold. All we knew at the time was that we wanted to make art that was meaningful to us and had the potential to resonate with others in a purposeful way. We vowed to do things on our own terms, with the creative freedom to make the art that we want to make and say what we want to say without compromise.”
