Slothrust

I'm pretty sure every new artist/song I come to love lately comes from a TV show I watch. That being said, I was introduced to Slothrust through this show, You're The Worst. 7:30am is the freaking theme song and I fell in love with it immediately.


This band doesn't have a fucking Wiki, so I'm not entirely sure they even exist...but since I just bought their album, Of Course You Do...of course they do. One song I'm sad isn't on that album, because it's fabulous, is In A Sexual Way. There's something so appealing to me about Leah Wellbaum's low honest voice mixed with that grungy bluesy sound...because it deeply reminds me of the Pixies. It's hard for me to explain how fruitless my struggle to find music like this usually ends up anymore. It just hasn't been existing since the 90's. So, shout-out to anyone who, like me, has a deep aching need for that 90's sound but isn't actually the same stuff you've been hearing the last 20 years...look up these motherfuckers and get hooked!
