Sluice Share WTF Single

Leave a comment

The new Sluice record is going to be a beast of a listen, full of slow-burning balladry and indie rock allegiance. Their latest single offers a glimpse at some of their more exploratory moments, letting a sort of experimental moment open up the tune, creeping in carefully before finally settling into a heavy groove that carries the weight with a bit of haunting discord. But, as the track progresses, the song unfolds into more of the group’s folk leanings, sprawling across the last thirty seconds or so in a fashion that seems related to Bill Callahan or the like. Their Companion LP is out this Friday via Mtn. Laurel Recording Co.

Sluice Share Zillow Single

After spending years really indulging in folk-based rock sounds, I took a bit of a break; the genre perhaps got too reliable, and perhaps didn’t match my angst in the world. But, the more I spend time with Sluice‘s new LP, the more I realize it’s exactly the sort of calm sea in this storm that is the present. Justin Morris voice has this sincere fragility that’s completely fascinating, reminiscent of our friend Chase in Marmalakes; I love the way Morris able to hang his voice on the edge of a syllable, suspending it right before your ear. The string arrangement sweeps across the tune perfectly, clearing out a pathway for the listener to sit in peace as Morris and company do the rest. They’ll release Companion on March 27th via Mtn. Laurel Recording Co.

Christina’s Trip Share Companion

This churning bit of guitar pop from Christina’s Trip has totally won me over, and thus, warranted an early morning listen for you all. You’ll clearly hear a bit of nostalgia in the craft, something that clings to a sense of sincerity and indifference at once, particularly in the varying vocal approaches throughout the tune. I definitely fell for the sharp meandering of the guitar notes to, especially when they bent and twist around the drawn out style vocals. Bits of this sounds like early Rilo Kiley too, like that all encompassing earnestness that makes you want to get up, grab a guitar and start your own band. This song features on the group’s new LP, Forever After, out soon via Cherub Dream Records.
