Following the release of “Pill To Swallow,” Softcult is back with “Naive.” The shimmering shoegaze track is raw, touching on the moment when the rose-colored glasses fall off. Softcult notes of the song, “It’s about coming to the painful realization that the person, idea, or reality we trusted and believed in never really existed in the first place.
