THE SLUGS "A SONG FOR EVERY FEELING" LP
FROM THE BAND: "We are extremely proud and pleased to release our long-time-coming album A Song For Every Feeling - written the summer before we became a long-distance band. We have tried to include a song for more or less every feeling with themes growing into yourself and all the mess of being a person, with a healthy dose of signature Slugs tender chaotic fun."
"“Full album plays on both sides of the record, so it’s kind of like getting two records for the price of one.” That’s how Related Records advertises The Slugs’ debut LP on their website, a deadpan humor that fits this London/Newcastle duo snugly. Their sound is satisfyingly simple, even by DIY indie standards: drums, clean electric-guitar and vocals from both members, usually in tandem. It’s unpolished guitar-pop that shines regardless, as if Television Personalities joined the Elephant Six collective and quietly made fun of everyone else behind their backs, or at least didn’t ever take things too seriously. What’s not to like about “Maybe”, bursting with charm and the repeated line “I could look after myself but I don’t want to”? It leads into “Phone Voice”, as basic as a Ramones song and equally as feel-good, complete with a staged phone call. You can only sound the way The Slugs do by being best friends, as I’m certain that Phoebe and Lib are. If it matters to you that the guitar doesn’t always hit all the right notes, the door is over there, you’re free to leave at any time! The Slugs are perfect just the way they are." - Yellow Green Red
