"Some pretty whack experiments in psychedelia and Suicide-style electro"

More Slim Twig More Slim Twig

Slim Twig's back with another epic mind-melting opus that deals a lo-fi interpretation of classic '70s rock influences filtered through a fiercely underground attitude.

The heavy grind of Slippin' Slidin' draws on psychedelics while trawling the dark back-alleys of glam to sinister effect. That's just a starting point for some pretty whack experiments in psychedelia and Suicide-style electro that devolve into cacophonous chaos without necessarily alienating listeners, allowing him to sound completely retro yet very much a 21st century boy. A sprawling cover of Gainsbourg's Cannabis brings things to a thrilling conclusion.
