sloth

For a song titled “sloth,” the eigth track in 7sins launches headlong into a rapid pace, weaving upbeat synths with elements of pop rock. Interestingly, the tail end winds down to a slow, warped crawl, a pointed allusion perhaps to slothful circumstances.

In a clever take, the cause of indolence Felip sings about isn’t a chronic character flaw, but incidental. The song depicts the story of a person wasting time waiting for a past love to be rekindled, deliberately choosing not to let go, and as a consequence, spirals into listlessness.
