First UK band on ETT and they making fresh, fiery, and eminently danceable music! SLUMB PARTY are awesome! They just have such a cool vibe… they’re overtly arty, but also have this kind of approachability about them as well, rather than something like the more detached art school aesthetic of Gang of Four or Wire.

More to the point, they wrote simply incredible songs that combined the power of punk rock with the earworm quality of psychodelic children’s songs.

As one might expect from this kind of self-consciously artsy music, it is forward-pushing in a way that puts them in stark contrast to today’s retro-oriented bands. Of course you can hear strains of various quirky, feminist punk from the Slits to the Raincoats to various other Rough Trade bands and beyond, but this is also heavy and raw in a way that would really only make sense in the year 2017. It’s a brilliant EP that will take a little bit of unpacking to make sense of, but there’s so much here… and most gratifyingly of all, it gives you the sense of punk actually moving forward.

SLUMB PARTY sound like the future erupting out of all your favourite DIY punk 7”s simultaneously. There’s the infectious momentum of Essential Logic driving things ever forward, the arty minimalism of Lilliput underscoring the band’s lyrical subject matter.

SLUMB PARTY use all these lightning rods as jumping on points to hurtle us all into a new dimension very much of their own making. This upsurge of energy and vision has now been skillfully captured on the band’s debut EP.
