It’s been a wild week of magnificent releases, and today has been no different with numerous exceptional EPs and new singles out and about. Los Angeles based alt/indie duo slenderbodies, an absolute favorite of ours since we heartily shared their song ‘anemone’ over a year ago, gives us one of the day’s best new EPs in ‘soraya’. The five track compendium of steamy gliding alt pop hits what I’ve now coined slenderbodies’ triple S trifecta. It sizzles, it’s slinky, and it’s swag. Queen is a fresh jam off of soraya that exhibits slenderbodies’ trademark charm, humid and muggy, sooty and seductive. It’s an intoxicating sound that falls somewhere in between Glass Animals and Jungle, with the taut guitar strut of art rock bands like Alt-J and Foals. "Sometimes a king needs a loving reminder from their queen, to show him his ‘wealth’; referring to his strength, talents, creativity, and ability to love, grow and prosper for both of their well being,” slenderbodies explain, continuing,“Similar to ‘king’, both songs are about receiving the emotional support and inspiration needed to succeed.” soraya, which is out on tastemaker indie label Avant Garden, examines the powerful impact of all the influential women in slenderbodies’ lives. Max and Benji honors the importance of feminine prowess with their sultry stewing songs. For more music and info, hit up slenderbodies’ website, here. Stream soraya in full on Spotify, here.
