Wichita band 2ŁØT has a new single out today. The self-described electronic-driven jam band hopes to reach listeners with a message of social action and social change. Appropriately, the band takes its name from the second law of thermodynamics, which in part establishes the concept of entropy or a state of chaos and disorder. Rudy Love Jr. and Sage Judd of 2ŁØT recently explained to KMUW's Jedd Beaudoin that their goal is to use their music to resist entropy.
