Iluminati Hotties, the project of Sarah Tudzin, is back with the chill rocker “Can’t Be Still.”
The new single opens with a crisp guitar riff, as Tudzin sings, “I triple-book my Saturdays/But I pretend/My program keeps me from freaking out.” In the video below, she ambles around Los Angeles before stepping out into nature.
“I find that something I have in common with most people that I talk to lately is the immense fear of and inability to be alone with ourselves,” Tudzin said of the track. “Constant motion, avoidance, restlessness — anything to keep myself from stagnating have always been my coping mechanisms when my inner monologue starts to get loud.”
Tudzin also announced an Illuminati Hotties tour, which kicks off in late Sept. in Santa Ana, California. She’ll hit several major cities before returning to the West Coast, where she’ll wrap the tour in Los Angeles on Nov. 1.
