Slope fight the 9-5 with new single "It's Tickin'"
What to try something different ? I mean like, real different ? Can we introduce you to Slope - Think Red Hot Chilli Peppers had a baby with Beastie Boys with some hardcore thrown in there for good measure and you’re about there…. There really is nothing else that sounds like this right now!
Funk fusion madcats Slope have a new full-length album “Freak Dreams” due out this Friday (2nd February 2024) via Century Media Records.
On the announcement of upcoming long-player, the band comments:
"Freak Dreams is a mix of all our individual influences and by far our most divers album. On some songs we did a lot of experimental elements that gives the record a different vibe and we couldn't be more happy with the outcome! The whole process of writing felt like evolving to a new chapter for Slope and we are proud to share it with the world!”
To celebrate the news, they've also released their new single, It's Tickin', inspired by the mundanity of 9-5 life. Check out the brilliantly crazy video below:
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Beastie Boys, Rage Against The Machine and early Red Hot Chili Peppers, SLOPE infuse their music with infectious energy, irresistible hooks, and thought-provoking lyrics. Their lyrics delve into the personal struggles and unsatisfying situations that many face in today's world, particularly the feeling of being deceived by the system. Their music serves as a powerful medium to address these issues, resonating with audiences who can relate to their messages.
