EP REVIEW: King of the Slums Peak Human Experience
By Frank Roper - 9 Feb 2019055 LSF/Revue
I am somewhat of a fan of King of the Slums (read my reviews of Manco Diablo and Artgod Dogs) and their last gig at Manchesters Night & Day Cafe is one that sits way up in my list of all time favourites. So the news that an EP was to be released led to unrestrained joy here in LSF Towers.
Musically it sort of continues on from the sound of their last album Artgod Dogs theres viola/violin youll be glad to hear.
Jimmy Flamingo the EP opener is a swirling pulsing thing that sounds as though its about to launch in something huge at any moment. Theres this sense of anticipation because you know its going to happen, but when. And when it does, you have to wait for around two thirds of the track, it explodes into this grinding riff. Look live I can see it, when it explodes theres going to be mayhem.
Second track Crombie and Grist continues that swirling thing with a more prominent viola/violin sound. And theres a male/female dual vocal. The sound of this is halting, its warped. The female vocal is pure, the male vocal is almost spoken sung. The track spirals, it drags you in.
Petrol Letterbox is a different thing, it opens with brooding dark guitar that shifts into a slow riff. Its slow, its incredibly dark. The viola throws in stabs of sound. Its all atmosphere. What this song is about I have no idea (although Ive had the tracks for some time now and Ive spent ages listening on repeat, I still cant work out whats its about) but it has a sense of foreboding, of bad things are about to happen or are happening. This is very much one of the EP highlights for me.
EP closer Flounce is one of those King of the Slums songs that shifts, one moment its grinding rock, the next beautiful ballad, they do that sometimes. The first time I heard this I wasnt sure, after repeated listening, Im at that I love this thing to death point.
Look its hard for me to say anything but the songs on this EP are brilliant. They are crafted, incredibly well played and thrill. The thing is that any release from KotS is something to be treated like a precious jewel, its obvious the band put an incredible amount of work into each individual song. You can go back, and back again, and continue going back and you should and theres always going to something that you havent picked up before. And of course theres always the words to listen to closely, to put a meaning together. And each release comes with the horrible sense of foreboding that there wont be anything else after it, you just dont know, there might be songs sitting ready for release or there might not, they might decide that its time to put the band on pause again.
The EP is available on vinyl from the bands website

RIP Charlie itku itku itku

It's with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of Charlie Keigher who died peacefully in his sleep on the 28th November after fighting a long battle with ill health. All our love goes out to his partner Claire (Clarissa), Stuart, Nic, Dave and his family and friends. His lyrics once said 'I consider it memorable how easily i'll be forgotten' but his words and music will always remain indelibly etched on our hearts. Forever England's leading light. Rest easy my dear friend

Random Souls Club (fragment)
1. Teenage Warpaint
2. What happened in Miles Platting
3. Cherish
Charlie and Clarissa made it into the studio one final time in July 2021 and recorded ten instrumental tracks for the album that would have become Random Souls Club. Sadly, Charlie didn't have time to add any vocals, although I have his notebook full of words. The vocals you hear on the first and third tracks were recorded in one take in Charlie's front room, on a basic recorder and as a guide just so I could fit the violin part around. I recently asked Latch, our producer, if he’d be able to work his magic to create something approaching a finished song. I’m pleased to say I think he has worked wonders with what was a very dodgy file! Vocally they are both very different from his stage persona, but perhaps more like the real Charlie.
What Happened in Miles Platting was a song title that Charlie came back to over and over, but we didn’t ever get round to using. Seemed too good to waste...although he never did tell me what actually happened in Miles Platting...
Music and words written by Charlie Keigher and Claire Taylor.
Recorded and produced by Latch at Tuff Gong Studios, Warrington.
Love to all fans. Peace and dignity. Clarissa xx
