SOF SIKE (LP)

Sof' Sike can be seen as a dramatic left (er, make that a right)?turn follow-up to Slim Twig's Contempt!, his last release on?Paper Bag Records. Replacing analog drum machines and?scratched-record samples are the vaguely psychedelic?rumblings of live instrumentation: pianos, organs, guitar, bass,?drums! Out of the murky and demented inspiration of his?previous releases we can now hear the sound of a promising?young songwriter.??Although as idiosyncratic as ever, these new songs showcase?an interest in classic songwriting, a fondness for psych-era?Rolling Stones, an affinity with the queer power pop of R. Stevie?Moore- in short, an odd friendliness (of sorts). Sof' Sike is a?diverse collection of songs, and with its restless approach to?genre and uncontained enthusiasm for POP, can be viewed in?the lineage of records like The Who's Sell Out, or Spark's A?Woofer In Tweeters Clothing??Available on LIMITED EDITION?145 GRAM Clear Vinyl w/ full artwork?CD Included.??Follow up to 2009's critically?acclamined 'Contempt!'??TRACKLISTING:?1.
