Slime - "First Cape"
As I was finally coming to the end of my RSS feed for the day in the search of new music, it all came down to this one. At this point, after having gone through 50+ songs and videos, I usually give a song mere seconds to make an impression. I mean, I have other stuff to do. This is a hobby dammit. So color me surprised when the first seconds of Slime's "First Cape" were, simply put, serene. Then Will Archer's (Slime's) falsetto comes in, followed by hallways filled with ghostly voices. The song keeps the serenity, and adds a little bit haunt to it. But that's not the impressive part--a minute and a half in, a beat comes in. A strong beat. If this were any other song, I'd consider it a negative aspect, but Archer (who, being 19, makes this even more impressive) knows how to tastefully implement such a device, and aptly moves in and out of it. Slimes has a debut EP called increases coming out on June 27th via Tough Love Records, and it has instantly become something I'm looking forward to hearing. Also, props to yourstru.ly for the premiere of this song.
