Album
Slide is the second album by American electronic musician George Clanton, released on August 17, 2018 by his independent record label 100% Electronica. After releasing his debut album 100% Electronica, George Clanton tried to produce a sequel to it for three years but found it difficult because he wasn't able to find the sound he wanted for it. After giving up, he started experimenting and writing stuff for fun and felt that the "songs themselves". This material became the basis for Slide. Clanton said that Slide was the first album he wrote under his own name, since his debut album was written as a Mirror Kisses record before he decided to release it under his real name. Clanton said that in Slide he did not try to be "ironic" or "silly with his lyrics", and preferred to "write great pop songs that are representative of an emotion that actually when singing them." He has said that a lot of Slide was written "freestyle" and that the lyrics of it are "really vague and come from deep down sometimes from a subconscious place."The album features electric guitars, acoustic drums, samples and synthesizers. Clanton described Slide as "a vaporwave opera". Clanton premiered Slide on August 18, 2018 in front of a sold out audience at the Elsewhere music venue in Brooklyn, New York City. He also gave a free performance of the album at the Nasher Sculpture Center alongside Chulita Vinyl Club on November 16, 2018. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA
