I’m being chased by an escapee He’s smiling through his teeth It’s nothing personal you see And now I’m running like a refugee It's like a freak disease! That just goes on and on and on Hey hey you! Yeah I’m talking to you There’s a killer in the streets And he’ll get you too! Baby it’s true The devil’s down in me But my soul keeps dancing I'm being charged in the 3rd degree! Somebody help me please I'm like a phantom amputee Forever dancing through a killing Spree I’m like a mad banshee! Just spinning on and on and on Hey hey you! Yeah I’m talking to you There’s a killer in the streets And he’ll get you too! Baby it’s true The devil’s down in me But my soul keeps dancing

about

Palace Winter’s Carl Coleman stayed busy while isolating at the start of the pandemic by watching horror films. It wasn’t long before similar themes started serving as inspiration for new songs. The paranoia and fear in the movies seemed to reflect the times, and the result is Palace Winter’s shimmering new single “Slasher”.

For Palace Winter, “Slasher” was a long-awaited return to songwriting together in-person. But that process was soon interrupted when Coleman discovered that the song’s subject—a killer in the street—was also inside of him. “While we were making the song, I got COVID and had to isolate for a week in a small Corona-hotel room. The bizarre situation made me reflect on the fact that there’s this ‘killer on the streets’, and for many of us there's a slim chance of avoiding it. Suddenly I had 3 meals a day left at my door, no contact with any other people and could only get fresh air in this super bleak shopping mall carpark. It was so dystopian, like a zombie flick.”

Keyboardist and producer Casper Hesselager reflects on Carl’s infection and how the duo tried to make the best out of the situation and move on from the experience: “After all the heaviness of 2020 and COVID etc., we wanted to make something fun and danceable. So we developed a beat inspired by 90’s drum ‘n’ bass and things like The Prodigy, Portishead etc.”

“There’s an element of “Ennio Morricone and Scott Walker discover 90’s Drum ‘n’ Bass about it” continues Hesselager, who is searching to incorporate disparate influences in the band’s music.

Hesselager’s sonic creativity is matched by Coleman’s cinematic themes, as he elaborates on the story behind the song: “I was thinking, what if we put Palace Winter into a slasher movie? What would it look like? What would it sound like?”
