Are You Ready for Eric Slick’s LP

Leave a comment

While Eric Slick probably is most noticeable for his work with Dr. Dog, his solo outing is really impressive, and totally different. On his latest single there’s a defined move towards a broader pop spectrum, with sweeping arrangements and light flourishes of noise filling in the space behind Slick’s voice. His voice is steady and calmed, remaining as such even through the emotive chorus. This track’s all about execution, and it’s pulled off extremely well, leaving us with great promise as Palisades hits stores this Friday courtesy of Egghunt Records.

Eric Slick of Dr. Dog Steps Out (SXSW Artist)

Eric Slick spends a great deal of time behind the drum kit for Dr. Dog, and while we love that act, his solo effort looks like something I’ll devour. Fuzzy guitars buzz while drums push the speed from the get-go; the drums push you towards the explosive pop burst that serves as the chorus. It drives you forward, then pulls back for a brief bit of respite, knowing there’s some pop sensibility underneath Slick’s belt; a mix of heavy and soft never bothers this fella. He’s titled his new album Palisades, and it will see a huge release via Egg Hunt Records on April 21st. He’ll also be jamming at SXSW if that’s on your radar!
