Last year Brooklyn’s Grim Streaker released their explosive first single Guts, and a highly-praised debut EP, Minority Girl, and now they have shared new single Mojito, a summer-appropriate song inspired by a drunken night abroad, drinking one too many mojitos on the way to a hidden cave bar in Cuba.
