Prepare to be lulled under their spell once more with the slow-burn of forerunning single, ‘Remoter Heaven’. Produced by long-time collaborator Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard’s Tom Rees. It begins in a dream state of hypnotic repetition that mounts in intensity, with vocalist Jack Shephard presiding over it all with his distinctive, poetic drawl. His protagonist is revisiting a memory of the pain inflicted by a thorn as a child; “I was awake with feeling”, he confesses, before the song takes on the momentum that feels like a triumph over the numbness attendant to adulthood. Of the track, Shephard shares: “I liked the idea of writing a very simple narrative to a big, epic song – something as modest as the story of a child playing in some flowers and then bursting into tears when a thorn pricks their leg. The words are an ode to that sensitivity we embrace when we are young. Then, when we become adults, we insist on subjugating all of that wonderful, absurd rage.” ‘Remoter Heaven’ follows on from ‘Tabernacl’ and ‘St Agatha’ which earned Slate rave write-ups and support from publications including NME, CLASH, So Young, DIY, Buzz Magazine, The Most Radicalist and more, as well as early radio plays from the likes of Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq on BBC 6Music, Matt Wilkinson on Apple Music 1, John Kennedy on Radio X and Jack Saunders on BBC Radio 1. Emerging from the depths of Cardiff’s burgeoning music scene and heirs to their country’s lineage of storytellers, Slate are barely touching their twenties, but together, they have command of post-punk which rings with the gravitas of a death knell; a grasp of atmosphere and melody which touches on the ethereal. Their debut EP, Deathless, is their most ambitious act of storytelling so far. Recorded in one take, the narrative of its six tracks takes place within a single room – or, perhaps, one mind. It begins with what the band feel is some of the darkest material they will ever write, to reaching, in its second half, a place of transformation and epiphany. On the EP’s vinyl edition, the lyrics are written out like a diary entry, each one penned in another member’s hand. “Across their first two singles, Slate have already presented a signature sound and even more definable energy. To make music this intense while not sacrificing an inch of the power in its storytelling is a real feat.” – NME “Alongside austere yet poetic indie rock Slate infuse this with a sharp-edged awareness of Welsh culture and identity… An imposing introduction, Slate break from the pack on a song packed with ambition, and a desire for individuality.” – CLASH “Comprised of volcanic builds and gothic landscapes, [‘Tabernacl’] bleeds of an emotional journey between anxiety battles and dealing with regrets, so for a band that have just entered their early twenties, it’s a deep one.” – So Young Artist Slate Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Brace Yourself Records Buying Options 12" EP/Mini Album Format 12" , EP/Mini Album Condition New Country UK Track Listings Remoter Heaven The Heir Sun Violence Deathless Shade In Me Hailstone Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Slate and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Slate Tabernacl / St Agatha Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Brace Yourself Records | 7", Single Released 15th December 2023 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Slate Tabernacl / St Agatha £10.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Brace Yourself Records SKU: BYREC53 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 15th December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Graveyard Johnnys Dead Transmission!
