May Song 2: "Strike" by Late Slip & Nick Waterhouse

“Strike” by Late Slip & Nick Waterhouse

Late Slip is musical vehicle for the rootsy stylings of singer-songwriter Chelsea Nenni. Her new single “Strike,” which features vocals and guitar from Nick Waterhouse, suggests that dinner might not be the only thing simmering in the kitchen.

“I had brought along an idea for a song that used old-school sayings that my New York Italian grandma used to use,” Nenni says. “My favorite one was, ‘You gotta strike while the iron is hot.’

“Since Nick, Lewis and I all share an affinity for all things retro, we rolled with that lyric and ended up finding this sexy kitchen vibe. Honestly, the lyrics were coming out so ridiculous (example: “The coffee’s percolatin’ in the pot / you better come on over if you need somethin’ hot”) that in the demo you can hear Nick and me cracking up while trying to sing what we’d just written. … It was a pretty magical little session. Then, in January, Nick was kind enough to come join Lewis and me in the studio to duet with me on ‘Strike’ and add some kickass guitar on that tune.”

“Strike”

Strike While the iron is hot Whether You’re ready or not Better keep it comin' If you want my lovin' Strike while the iron is hot You see the skillet’s burnin', the way the toast is turnin' You better get close to me Oh, the coffee’s percolatin' in the pot So, you better come on over If you need something hot, whoa strike While the iron is hot I’ve baked and broiled, I’ve diced and chopped Take a look at my table top It’s set for two and I’ve got a lot Well, the coffee’s percolatin' in the pot If you really, really, really, really need something hot, whoa A pinch of sugar, little touch of cream Don’t you know I keep all my counters clean, so strike While the temperature’s high There ain’t no bigger fish to fry Tell me If you got the need Cause honey I got other hungry mouths to feed Strike While the iron is hot Whether You’re ready or not Better keep it comin', honey If you want my lovin' Strike while the iron is hot

NICK WATERHOUSE BIO

Known for his vintage-inspired pop and R&B aesthetic, Nick Waterhouse is a songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist whose music recalls the sounds of the 1950s and early '60s while possessing a modern-day level of energy and cool. Waterhouse initially grabbed listeners with his 2011 EP Is That Clear. He has remained a standard-bearer for analog recording techniques, and retro-style, both evident on his subsequent albums including 2016's Never Twice.

Waterhouse was born in Southern California in 1987; his parents were serious music fans, and he grew up with the sounds of classic blues, soul, and rock sides by the likes of Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, John Lee Hooker, and Van Morrison filling the house. As a child, he studied the trumpet, but when he was 13 he picked up the guitar, and while attending high school in Huntington Beach he formed a mod-styled R&B combo called the Intelligentsia. The Intelligentsia earned a large and loyal local following, but when Waterhouse's bandmates went off to college after the end of senior year, the group broke up and Waterhouse relocated to San Francisco.

He imagined the Bay Area would be a good place to launch a new musical career, but he found the local music scene uninviting; however, he did land a job at a record store dealing in rare R&B and soul singles, where he was able to study vintage sounds of the '50s and '60s at length. Soon he began writing songs, and he fell in with a group of like-minded West Coast musicians; he also discovered The Distillery, an all-analog recording facility in Costa Mesa, California, and struck up a friendship with studio owner Mike McHugh. After a number of live sessions recorded at The Distillery, Waterhouse released a single on his own Pres Records label, "Some Place," whose press run was quickly snapped up by collectors of modern-day R&B sounds. Waterhouse then teamed up with West Coast label Innovative Leisure, which issued the five-song EP Is That Clear in 2011. In 2012, after relocating to Los Angeles and touring Europe with his band the Tarots, Waterhouse released his first full-length album, Time's All Gone.

Also during this period, he began branching out into studio work, producing an album for L.A. garage-psych band the Allah-Las. In 2014, he returned to his solo career with his sophomore effort, Holly. Two years later, after Waterhouse produced sessions for Ural Thomas & the Pain and Boogaloo Assassins, he released his third album of vintage-sounding R&B, Never Twice. Fellow old soul Leon Bridges appeared on the single "Katchi." A remix of "Katchi" by French duo Ofenbach hit number one on the French charts in 2017. The eponymous Nick Waterhouse arrived in March 2019, and featured production by Paul Butler. The standalone track, "I'm Due for a Heartache," followed that October. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
