Aaaaaaaarg! Sort of a bummer to report that an artist you admire has already released a new album on cassette and that the flippin’ tape is already sold-out…
Oh, who are we kidding? We can’t stay mad at Talibam!’s Matt Mottel! After all, it’s not his fault! And besides; we would be seriously remiss not to mention that his new solo album, entitled Slid City, is OUT NOW DIGITALLY on Chant Records!
Like Talibam!, Mottel’s solo stuff is a funky truck with the tire chocks thrown well clear. Full of psychotic episodes and addictive instrumentals, Slid City is a rare mutant breed of idiosyncrasy and invention. Listen below to the joyous opener “Clunk Rok” and tell me you really miss tha hiss.
Besides, let’s face it: when an album is as good as Mottel’s is, you’d buy the thing on wax cylinder if that was the only option. So, don’t fret because the Slid City cassette is sold out, get the digital version and enjoy it over and over…and over and over…and over…with no fear of that pesky analog degradation!
Slid City tracklisting:
01. Clunk Rok
02. Uniq RoK
03. Untal Cloc
04. Slide Ways
05. Hiegh Weis
06. Schizno Res
