Description:

SLUG return with a new album â??Thy Socialite!â? on a new label formed by Field Musicâ??s Peter and David Brewis. However, simply a pastiche and nostalgic throwback this isnâ??t. Despite the playful nods to some of the more grandiose, theatrical and overblown elements of the aforementioned genre, itâ??s also an album with a contemporary pop edge, slick production and a tangible connection to SLUGâ??s previous deft mix of indie, rock and art pop. The result of all of this is an album that is fun and unpredictable but also conceptually smart, ambitious and adventurous. A place where classic hard rock and smart art-pop are treated equal, and where taking the piss doesnâ??t have to equate to being novelty or disposable. It was all part of the challenge that Black set himself from the off when he asked himself â??how could I challenge the SLUG listener but bring them on a new fresh journey which will confuse them at first but they will ultimately love?â? For David Brewis of Field Music, it was the ideal first record to kick off their new label. "This seemed like the perfect start for Daylight Saving Records," he says. "We've always loved what Ian does and it's been a thrill over the years to help Ian dig these wild musical ideas out from his brain. Now we can have a hand in putting them into people's ears too." -

SLUG's third album, as created by the idiosyncratic brain of Ian Black, in Sunderland, North-East England. Written and recorded by Ian Black Mixed by Ian Black, Peter Brewis and David Brewis Mastered by David Brewis Additional Musicians: Ed Cross: Violin Ele Leckie: Cello Chrissie Slater: Viola Pete Fraser: All the Saxophones String arrangements by Ian Black and Peter Brewis
