SLADS – Did You See Esther?
Release Date: Out Now
There isn’t a lot of back story
or fanfare to accompany this debut release from SLADS other than this is the
new vehicle for former Bare Hunter frontman Robbie Humphries and comes from the
Cotswolds via the mountains of Spain. ‘Did You See Esther?’ is dripping in Spanish-Mexican
flourishes, rhythms and melodies but with an ever-so-English sense of humour
about the lyrics. There is a live-take feel to the recording with handclaps,
la-las and gritos scattered liberally throughout and you can’t help but feel
that this would fit well over some sort of semi-comical chase montage in a Wes
Anderson movie. Above all else, this is a great tune and a particularly strong
debut with an EP to follow just over the horizon.
