congratulations announce four-track EP, Slap

Commenting on “Ice Tea” Jamie Chellar from congratulations says: “In those strange dark days where we’d have to queue to go shopping at Tesco, I would ritualistically listen to ‘Icky Thump’ by The White Stripes every time I went, and those guitar sounds were a huge influence on this song in the chorus. This took a while to get right in the studio as we got very specific with how the rhythms of the core instruments in the chorus danced around each other, and we played around with adding new synth textures and percussion layers. It was super worth it in the end as it’s our new favourite song to play live”.

Slap is the band’s second EP and the follow-up to “Woo Hoo” which was released last year. To accompany the announcement congratulations have shared the EP’s lead track “Ice Tea”.
