Slackers Release Debut EP "Full Frontal Slack"

Slackers

3 piece rock band. Influences from Skunk Anansie, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alabama Shakes.

My old mate Mucky Cherub/Beth Swain (who I used to be with in Bilamie) is in a new band called Slackers and on 18th March they released a new EP called "Full Frontal Slack".

Lonely Hearts was a track that we did in Bilamie - it's so cool to hear it in this new chilled format... I'm also loving the first track "I Want" too - especially the power and the attitude in the vocals.

'Your Art Is Imperfect' (NEW SONG from Fingerprints!)

Particle Zoo have uploaded an exclusive song from the new to stream online before the release date!

Your Art Is Imperfect

"Look at us all... Scrambling to meet our perfect partner, find our perfect job or have the perfect holiday.  How about painting the perfect picture or writing the perfect song?  Perfect just doesn't exist. And we need to stop imagining that it does (in spite of what the big American movies tell us).

With any piece of art, at some point you have to say 'it's finished' and move on. To just do what you can with what you feel in that moment.  After all, a song is like a snapshot of an artist at one moment in time. The next snapshot will be as different again."

'Your Art Is Imperfect' is the opening track on my new album ‘Fingerprints’, released on Monday 7th May 2018.

Your Art Is Imperfect (Lyrics)

Don’t stay where you’re tolerated

Go where you’re celebrated

If the sounds you hear are dull and dated

Create what you want created

Saw you in the zone, feel the deep connection

Buzzing all fours in the natural flow

Reaching for your own slice of perfection

Your Art is Imperfect; it's a beautiful show

They say ideas appear from nowhere

Vision and sound homebound from anywhere

You know the feeling like a spark inside you

Like a thread through a portal beside you

Saw you in the zone, feel the deep connection

Buzzing all force in the natural flow

Reaching for your own slice of perfection

Your Art is Imperfect; it's a beautiful show

7th May 2018

Particle Zoo Recordings

Genres: Pop/Electro/Industrial

Mastered at Dragonfly Studios, Bristol.

London based producer-songwriter Web Sheldon blends traditional singer-songwriting with high quality electronic production skills to create a sound that is visceral, exciting and deeply personal.

Enthusiastically supported by BBC Radio 6 Music, the first single from Fingerprints, IG-ID earned global airplay from Prague to Texas and was played twice in one weekend by an obviously impressed Tom Robinson.

The full album is an evocative mix of urban-electronic and street-folk addressing themes such as social decay, corporate greed, artistic expression and LGBTQ life.

Sometimes propulsive, uplifting and venal, others contemplative and lamenting, Fingerprints is a refined and bombastic soundtrack for modern living.

MODERN SLAVES (New track online from Fingerprints album!)

Particle Zoo have put a new track up online from my forthcoming album "Fingerprints" (to be released worldwide 7th May).

Listen to the track below and read the story behind the song.

Modern Slaves 

Modern living is so deeply ingrained in our psyche, we're almost numb to the fact that we're chained to paying our rent, bills and taxes for the rest of our lives. We’re fooled into buying things we’re under the illusion we NEED, things that are designed to break after a few months so we go out again and buy another one. And we go to our jobs (which we are lucky to have!) to pay for all this, selling away time with our families in exchange for money to pay for it all.

If we manage to maintain this year in, year out, what is the price? A person who has retired after years of graft, who should be enjoying life but has a body that is quickly deteriorating from years of physical labour? A young mind crushed and disillusioned under the stresses of juggling some work hard/play hard idea they’ve been sold – and probably too tired on a daily basis to question any of it. Is this what we actually want from life?

If we keep it all up and make it through – we are the lucky ones. What happens to those who crack under the pressure? Do they lose their home…friends…families…life?



Modern Slaves (lyrics):

Life is hard

We are Modern Slaves

Chained to banks and cards

Life Is Hard

Life is hard

We’re in the gutter

We don’t see the stars

Life is hard

Oh remember back in the day

Our parents used to say ‘these are the best days of your lives’

And they weren’t far wrong

Don’t get me wrong

Adulting is more fun

But you gotta stay strong

You got to keep it together

Life is hard

We are Modern Slaves

Our nerves may be burnt, charred, scarred

But we are not in chains

We are not in chains

We are not in chains

We are not in chains

But what does that change?
