Telling a story of an older man being romantically involved with a younger girl - their ages being the namesake of the song - it portrays how this is an event that is normalised but should not be something that society is used to or in any way supports. With eye-opening lyrics in the chorus such as the lines, “She doesn’t know how to love you / She doesn’t know how to drive”, it hammers home the truth that everyone needs to confront and not let lie. If that doesn’t do it, then Arn-Horn demanding, “for once, just act your age” must do it.\n\nhttps://whenthehornblows.com/content/2026/1/28/album-review-softcult-when-a-flower-doesnt-grow", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3619486, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3619486/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-02-19T11:12:10-08:00", "show": 65974, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65974/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://www.kexp.org/filer/canonical/1588181844/22496/", "thumbnail_uri": "https://www.kexp.org/filer/canonical/1588181847/22497/", "song": "Not Sorry", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Softcult", "artist_ids": [], "album": "Live on KEXP", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [ "KEXP" ], "label_ids": [ "89e0503e-96f0-41b4-835f-2c542b7fcb44" ], "release_date": "2026-02-19", "rotation_status": "R/N", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "On their debut record, Softcult manages to balance tender feminine authenticity with hardened resistance to patriarchal violence. Over the course of five years, the band attempted to balance the two in the form of EPs and zines. Yet it was the end of Mercedes’ nine-year relationship—alongside her newfound life as an out-of-the-closet queer person—that propelled the duo into a period of personal upheaval.

There’s nothing holding us back or any preconceived notions of what it could be or should be.” \n\nShe continues: “We chose Softcult because this band is all about social commentary. A soft cult could be anything from a church, a government, a family, a band even. It’s anything that you don’t really question where you follow your group of people. We’re all in soft cults in society that we don’t realize we’re a part of, we’re just willing participants because it’s a normalized thing at this point. It can sound a little harsh but it’s also meant to make you question which soft cults are you a part of.”\nhttps://www.gaytimes.com/culture/softcult-dont-try-and-be-what-someone-tells-you-to-be/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3619484, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3619484/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-02-19T11:01:58-08:00", "show": 65974, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65974/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://www.kexp.org/filer/canonical/1588181844/22496/", "thumbnail_uri": "https://www.kexp.org/filer/canonical/1588181847/22497/", "song": "Haunt You Still", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Softcult", "artist_ids": [], "album": "Live on KEXP", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [ "KEXP" ], "label_ids": [ "89e0503e-96f0-41b4-835f-2c542b7fcb44" ], "release_date": "2026-02-19", "rotation_status": "R/N", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Softcult is a Canadian grunge duo consisting of twin siblings Phoenix and Mercedes Arn-Horn.

From being told where to plug in my guitar, to not being permitted backstage because it’s ‘bands only’. House of Bones is saying: Haters will hate, but we keep going, no matter what.”\n-Anya Pearson (guitarist)\n\nhttp://radiotrails.com/2025/11/21/dream-nails-house-of-bones/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3619480, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3619480/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-02-19T10:51:15-08:00", "show": 65974, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65974/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn711102.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-063bf51c-bd76-40aa-a94c-db24d3ff819a/mbid-063bf51c-bd76-40aa-a94c-db24d3ff819a-15732293540_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://dn711102.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-063bf51c-bd76-40aa-a94c-db24d3ff819a/mbid-063bf51c-bd76-40aa-a94c-db24d3ff819a-15732293540_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Don’t Bring Me Coffee", "track_id": "562b4800-cc9e-45cd-8aac-36eb19208d74", "recording_id": "3420dbc5-0f9f-48d1-82f4-bad1752dccde", "artist": "All Them Witches", "artist_ids": [ "b574bfea-2359-4e9d-93f6-71c3c9a2a4f0" ], "album": "Sleeping Through the War", "release_id": "063bf51c-bd76-40aa-a94c-db24d3ff819a", "release_group_id": "d83178d3-82da-460d-a7b7-481212c50407", "labels": [ "New West Records" ], "label_ids": [ "c1b263e3-f148-4e85-81a3-c57aefc56797" ], "release_date": "2017-02-24", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "All Them Witches is back on tour and will be on the west coast next week!

We revere things that tell us about ourselves. It's that thing of how we think art is very important. A life without art, who knows what that would be like? We think the Mona Lisa is this thing that's valuable, when something else isn't.\"\n\nAnton Corbijn directed the video, which contains many abstract images, including an anthropomorphic unicorn.
