Limited clear colored vinyl LP pressing. Above all the overriding ethos of Slothrust's Everyone Else is it's sense of inclusiveness: all people, every feeling, quiet, loud, any time signature. The band's 2012 debut Feels Your Pain, and it's successor 2014's Of Course You Do, established the band as a breed apart, serving up deceptively clever epics that veer satisfyingly between incandescent riffing and pop hooks, winsome anxiety and powerful heft. With their long-awaited third album, Slothrust deliver 10 new songs that reward repeated listens with complex arrangements and lyrical depth. From the slow burn of the centerpiece track "Horseshoe Crab" to the bizzarro world lullaby "Like a Child Hiding Behind Your Tombstone" and the ripping, hyper-adrenalized "Rotten Pumpkin," the midpoint between grunge and art rock is the aesthetic that Slothrust elevates. Sharp-eyed individualism, serious musicianship, humble intelligence, controlled abandon.
