The outfit are at their blistering best on the cathartic new track
Quietly carving out a name for themselves as one of the most consistent and thoughtful outfits in alternative rock, Norwich’s Sleemo continue to release tunes that feel both resonating and crushing.
Latest release ‘Imitate The Thief’ is the perfect example of this, on one hand a cathartic and violent address on the state that lockdowns and a global pandemic has left them in, and on the other a crushing melting pot of riffs, melodies and freeing walls of noise. Every frantic and hurried note on the track is a message, one of release, one of freedom and finality. The shackles of lockdown are off now, and it seems to have awoken something in the trio that can only be for the best.
