Slomatics Announce Album Reissues for Canyons and Future Echo Returns
I’ll be honest with you, I’m just doing myself a favor here. To me, this is just a little bit of time out of my day — surely wretched otherwise — that I get to listen to Slomatics. Yeah, vinyl reissues? That’s cool. You know Burning World does good work, so it’s not gonna be a shitty product, and if you don’t have 2019’s Canyons (review here) or 2016’s Future Echo Returns (review here), surely that’s a thing that can and should be rectified given the opportunity, but, well, I do have those records — CDs, anyhow, which suits me just fine — and I’m perfectly content to put on Canyons for a couple minutes while I put this together.
No, it’s not the most urgent news ever. It’s their two most recent albums being re-pressed on neato-looking vinyl ahead of the band recording their next one. The Belfast-based trio also released a split with Domkraft (review here) in April on Majestic Mountain Records — surely one of 2022’s best short releases — and I was fortunate enough to see them twice in Europe this year, at Freak Valley in Germany (review here) and at Høstsabbat in Norway (review here), where the photo below was taken. They murdered that basement. It was glorious.
They’ve got one more show this year in Iceland on Dec. 2, and aside from starting a GoFundMe to fly in for the night, I sincerely doubt I’ll be there to catch it, but I have every confidence they’ll deliver. I’ve never seen them do otherwise, and I look forward to probably slathering all over their next offering later in 2023 when it comes out.
Most of all, a couple minutes of Canyons made my morning a little better just now, and that’s something I welcome.
From Bandcamp or wherever:
After being out of print for several years, we are delighted to re-issue both Future Echo Returns and Canyons through the amazing Burning World records. We are stoked to be working with Jurgen again! Both records are available on a choice of colour and splatter vinyl, and both come with the original gatefold sleeves. We are recording our next full album early next year, so now is as good a time as any to re-visit these two!
You can buy as single albums, we’ve also added a few bundle deals on Bandcamp.
Buy directly from us on Bandcamp , we will post worldwide: slomatics.bandcamp.com/merch
