The Slacksons have moved away from the usual aural archetypes with their latest EP “PLASTIC BAGS FOR SHOES”. If you think that the LP title is a little eccentric, just wait to hear what each of the attention piquing, mind-altering soundscapes have to offer.
Even though distinctive and truly innovative music is a hard sell in 2020, I have no doubt that The Slacksons will go far with their sublime mix of Trip Hop, Disco, Funk, Indie, and Psych.
With each track offering a discernibly different vibe and sound, the LP stands as a testament to the diversity of this exceptionally exciting up and coming UK-based artist. As difficult as it was to pick a standout favourite track, there’s just something engrossingly appealing about the ominously slicing organ wails and crunching Hard Rock riffs being instilled into the feel-good track “WAKE UP“.

We are The Slacksons!
5 passionate and like-minded musicians and friends who hooked up in a Bristol studio for a cheeky jam

We like to think our music is a cool mix of Brit Pop, Hip hop, Jazz, Funk, Ska and Electronica which sits beside a rich history of innovative UK bands....more
