Dale Cooper once said "every day, once a day, give yourself a present." Today that present is new music from Los Angeles’ Slippers. Anyone who has spent any time listening to So You Like Slippers? knows there is reason to celebrate as the Madeline BB led band announce their upcoming second album Slippers 08, due out June 5th via the team of Perennial and K Records (Touch Girl Apple Blossom, Sharp Pins, Dummy). With a deep understanding that pop nuggets are best delivered in nugget form, Slippers truly excel at miniature masterpieces, songs so catchy and fully realized they rarely need more than two minutes to create their jangly magic. Slippers 08 is overloaded with these kinds of moments, fuzzy bursts of blinding splendor that still feels entirely human. The songs are impossibly sunny but inherently raw and noisy, built around melodies that stay with you like eating a tube of super glue might. “Wants For Everyone,” the album’s lead single, revolves on a sustained groove and detuned melodies, the sweet and the sour. With a foundation of Madeline BB’s crisp drums and harmonized vocals the song whips to life and just sort of thrives in that pocket. There’s a motorik energy to the rhythm that creates enough of a structure to let the guitars bleed into crackling distortion and the bent sense of melody provided by the warbling riffs. It’s really all too good. A gem of power-pop simplicity that’s lined with Slippers’ fine-tuned attention to detail. User-contributed text is availa
