Red Handed Denial have shared an official video for their new song “Parasite.” This track is from the group’s new album “A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia,” which will be available on May 24.

Lauren Babic said the following about the song:

“It’s about a person you can’t get rid of who feeds off your energy. Truthfully, these are my feelings about social media. If I could, I’d throw my phone into the ocean, because it truly sucks the life out of me. My connections to friends and family have suffered because of social media. ‘Parasite’ embodies my anger of wanting to watch it die.”

She also added the following about the album:

“‘A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia‘ is a testament to my discontent with how reliant we became on technology during the Pandemic. We’re reaping the consequences. Mental health has severely suffered. When the world opened, a lot of us struggled and felt different. I feel different too. We get a false sense of security from platforms like TikTok and Instagram. We’re stuck in a cycle of little dopamine releases from every swipe, but we’re not content. When I get away from these apps, I find clarity.”
