SLOTHRUST - Of Course You Do LP

Label: Ba Da Bing

Slothrust tick all the boxes with their latest album. The Brooklyn three-piece stuns us with their honesty, rawness and sonic power. Of Course You Do is the second full-length release from Slothrust and their debut on the prestigious Badabing label. And it’s the perfect soundtrack for a fever-induced dreamworld.Of Course You Do is raw and honest in both the performance and lyrics. This is very much music of our time that documents lives spent in cubicles, lives spent in a state of self-doubt and entire lives in pursuit of just trying to figure out how to sort it. In most cases the outlook might seem gloomy but there’s also a 50% chance of humour.

What you should know: Slothrust is fucking TIGHT. This is a guitar album, centred around Leah Wellbaum’s multi-tracked wall of noise and super crispy chords. But the sonic impact, and the Slothrust “sound” are equally formed from the punchy bass played by Kyle Bann and the hammering percussion of Will Gorin. It sounds bright without being screechy. And it’s a great fucking sound.
