Andy Shauf has shared two new songs, “Satan” and “Jacob Rose.” The former arrives with a video directed by Ryan Steel. Check out both below.

Shauf explained the inspiration for “Satan” in a statement:

When I was young, there were a few years where I wasn’t allowed to celebrate Hallowe’en. The church that I grew up in was saying that Hallowe’en was ‘The Devil’s Day’ and that it had its roots in satanic rituals. After a few years of this, my parents realized it was a bit silly to deny us our free candy and let us resume. The Christianity that I was brought up in said that believers went to heaven and non-believers went to hell. A sort of cartoon-like simplification of ancient texts. So with the lyrics of this song, I was trying to take this cartoon-like simplification of life (and death) and pair it with a cartoon-like version of this Christian hell. Where after you complete a long and disciplined life, you find yourself holding a bite-sized chocolate bar stapled to an invitation to a Hallowe’en pool party with Satan himself.

Shauf issued his latest album Wilds last fall, after issuing The Neon Skyline in early 2020. He’s got a North American tour starting next week, followed by a European run in the spring.
