| Elastic Sleep - Slip |
I love this
track but it terrifies me at the same time so I am writing this review from
behind the sofa and under a large blanket with a torch. Irish quintet Elastic
Sleep have obviously feasted on a diet of Breeders, Pixies, My Bloody
Valentine, Veruca Salt, Belly and suspense filled horror films which has
created a unique sound that is perfectly depicted in new single 'Slip'. This is
the kind of tune I would have woken up to having fallen asleep with John Peel
whispering in my ears only to make me thoroughly freaked out. Haunting vocals,
throbbing bass, ominously thudding drums and squalling guitars all mingle like
a nightmarish lullaby before the occasional bursts of terror personified
through sheer noise. This is the musical equivalent of the sweet little girl
singing in the garden who, on closer inspection, has black eyes and blood
spattered hands. Now bring me a sandwich and don't you dare turn the lights
off!
