Energy Whores Unveil Material Facade on Pretty Sparkly Things

New York City's experimental-electro political provocateurs Energy Whores return with their satirical new single Pretty Sparkly Things, a track that glitters at its edge but grabs hard at its center. The group has built its reputation by creating art rock, electronic textures, and lyrical fire that critique the 21st-century obsession with wealth, luxury, and celebrity culture, giving a cracked vision of modern-day decadence.

On an ear level, the track pulses with hypnotic synths and angular beats that sound engineered for a late-night club experience. But listen deeper, and the lyrics hit as hard as a punch: billionaire indulgences, influencer fabrication, and the artificial attraction of luxury. Can’t pay your bills, can’t afford your pills… isn’t a metaphor, but as reality, what many live.

Vocalist and songwriter Carrie Schoenfeld uses satire like a knife, cuts through the glam for exploitation, and the unequal' fate separated us from belonging.

The reason Pretty Sparkly Things works so well is its duality. It's a dancefloor-acceptable anthem but also a protest song that demands an engagement with uncomfortable truths buried behind shiny advertising slicks and curated Instagram feeds (largely meant to make people feel inadequate about themselves). Schoenfeld describes herself as a “sonic insurgent,” and it shows; she is rebellion disguised as rhythm. This single will appear on the upcoming album Arsenal of Democracy, and it signifies that Energy Whores are not there to entertain politely; they are there to incite, disturb, and awaken.
