Lazy Queen ’s new single Unemployed, Uninspired is a glorious middle finger dressed as a punk song—and it flips the bird with style.

The delicate nuances of nature’s pulse blend seamlessly with the electrifying energy of dance music, creating an experience that is at once grounding and transcendent. Each note feels like a step deeper into a forest where the rhythm of the ear...
