Talk Talk EP

Description

The genesis of the EP was the session for a song of the same name that appeared on ‘So Many Other Realities Exist Simultaneously’ (2023). A collaboration with Lifter Puller alum Bat Flower, the song ‘Talk Talk’ exists alongside electro classics in an uncanny valley that’s been warped into a sweaty nightclub, at once vaguely alien and deeply human. Enamored with the song’s outcome, Slug and Ant returned for a longer exploration of the sound, to mesmeric results. The pulsing ‘Rotary Telephone’, where the TV antennas seem tuned to a world just slightly askew from ours, thrives on the tension between Slug’s careening vocals and the song’s taught structure-form matched perfectly with content. And on ‘Hear Hear’, the struggle to make human connections is revealed as a beautiful one.
