Slugger – Sometimes Life Is Like
The Second
Season of Friday Night Lights
Release Date: Out Now
Half the challenge of writing a
music blog is trying to find things that sound good, engaging or just plain
different to everything else you’ve received that day/week/month. This latest release
from Brighton soloist Slugger certainly ticks those boxes and, while it might
not be everyone’s cup of tea, it stops the world from spinning quite so rapidly
for five and a half minutes. I have no idea what the title means but ‘Sometimes
Life Is Like The Second Season of Friday Night Lights’ is unlikely to get
confused with a Celine Dion power ballad so that’s something. Musically,
there’s an introspection and frustration to this track that I find utterly
transfixing and you’d find it huddled in the corner of the same day-time pub as
Dorian Cox, Cassels and Slow Dive – none of them talking or making eye contact.
The lo-fi guitar and splashes of percussion give this a raw vibe but each note
is carefully and methodically placed for maximum so if you want to just stop
for a bit and give your mind a chance to catch up with you then pop this on and
have a good long stare out of a window. It’ll do you good.
