The Australian band Slowly Slowly is back and better than ever with a new single, “Sacrosaint,” their first since 2025’s Forgiving Spree (#1 on the Australian ARIA Album Charts).
The track has a thrilling and explosive pulse that gives the listener a rush of adrenaline, and the high intensity of the vocal performance that lead singer Ben Stewart delivers is the comeback fans need.
“Sacrosaint,” at its heart, is about what it’s like when the foundations beneath us, personally or even collectively, stop being nurtured. The band shows off their clever songwriting techniques by playing on the word “sacrosanct.” The song sits in the space between helplessness and urgency, leaving the listener wondering what happens when concrete things we used to rely on begin to dissolve. We often find we’ve taken the structures that have built us for granted when they disappear.
This song has a relatable feeling as we age and grow into the people that we are today, moving further and further away from the past. You never know when you’re actually in the “good old days” until you stop and look around at a new, unfamiliar reality, and yet you keep hurtling forward.
The new single and music video arrive following the announcement of Slowly Slowly’s place on the 2026 Good Things Festival lineup — be sure to catch them live!
