Album review: Sløtface – Film Buff
Norwegian punk favourites Sløtface deliver cathartic fun on new LP, Film Buff.
Sløtface have shared a new single, Final Gørl, in which Haley Shea “flips the script” on the slasher movie ‘final girl’ trope.
Ahead of some touring plans for the next few months, Sløtface have just unveiled a brand-new single.
Entitled Final Gørl, the track hears Haley Shea taking inspiration from the ‘final girl’ trope in horror and slasher films, but with a twist…
“In these movies the final girl is pure and virginal and better than all the other more overtly sexual women in the movie, which is why she survives,” Haley explains. “I wanted to flip the script on that, so the ‘I’ character in Final Girl is saying no to all those rules about who she has to be.
“In the song I’m singing a lot of lines to the killer in a horror movie, very aware of what genre I’m in, and saying, ‘No thanks, I don’t really want to be a part of these expectations.’ To me it symbolises that women are often expected to try so hard to be liked and be everything to everyone, and in this song I’m embracing that we as women can also be lazy losers.”
