Minneapolis indie-punk sibling trio Loki's Folly are whimsically tackling government corruption in their catchy new single "Beaches and Peaches." The band, consisting of siblings Annie Kuchenmeister (21) on vocals and guitar, Nissa Kuchenmeister (16) on drums and vocals, and Oskar Kuchenmeister (12) on bass, shine on the short yet magnetic indie rock track with jaunty instrumentals that juxtapose the band's humorous yet foreboding lyricism.

The single opens with playful, frolicking vocals that whimsically sing, "I'm sitting on beaches, eating peaches / The government is corrupt." The band continues to examine the state of the world and its impending implosion while frenetic instrumentals build and pile up. After taking listeners on a journey through howling choruses and humorous cynicism, the song takes a brief reprieve and revisits the song's hook, this time through a slow and swaying, tension-filled lens.

"The song's result felt like the perfect description of the uncertain and uncomfortable future that seems imminent, says the eldest Kuchenmeister sibling. "Maybe trying to bring some humor into the anxiety over things like climate change, politics, and where humanity will be in the next number of years."

"Beaches and Peaches" drops ahead of Loki's Folly's upcoming debut album Sisu, which is set to be released on February 21. The 12-track body of work features a myriad of songs written by the band since 2017. The LP, which is named after the Finnish word for "inner strength" is said to explore the trials and tribulations of life and perseverance according to the band. Annie explained, "As soon as we were close to finishing the album, we realized it was the perfect description of both world and personal events, as well as a bit of a running theme in the songs on the album: persevering and getting through tough things."
