It’s been a long wait for Slum Sociable fans as they await the duo’s anticipated debut self-titled album; but, it’s finally here, in all its 12-track glory. It was released today after it was pushed back from its previous October date.
Before the release of this album, CelebMix exclusively chatted with them during an interview. We discussed the pushback of the album, the tracks themselves, and how it differs from their previous music. So, we highly suggest you check out our interview with the duo.
Slum Sociable consists of Edward (Cregan) Quinn and Miller Upchurch, from Melbourne, Australia. They have been together for many years, building the duo on friendship. Their new album takes inspiration from a whole host of genres, with specific vibes added here and there. This definitely shows off their versatility.
There’s plenty of tracks to like on the album, “Moby Bryant” certainly opens the album up as a typical Slum Sociable track; introducing the duo and the album at once. Rhythmically groovy, this is one you need to listen to first, for sure.
Many awesome tracks follow that will hypnotise you, draw you in, and make you fall in love with this Australian duo. They have a strong, undeniable presence in their music. “14 Days” and “Castle” definitely allows the duo to show who they are.
There are a lot of indie vibes throughout, as well as jazz. “Treated Like The Weather” really brings these genres out together, giving us a transformative track that’s you can’t help but love. Yet, it’s when we get into the second half of the album, where Slum Sociable truly gives us something special, just after the “I Don’t Want To Give You Anyth – Any Of It At All” interlude.
We adore “Hand It Over” and “Keep Up With It” as they are much more upbeat than the other tracks. The lyrics are clearly personal and Slum Sociable manages to throw all the emotions needed for these two tracks, out to the listeners.
The album ends with “Outrunner” and “Don’t Come Back Another 100 Times” which are the perfect two tracks to end this album. They are the perfect outro to the LP allowing the listeners to want more; so much so, that we all decide to replay the whole album – it is that good.
