Welsh quartet Slate announce debut EP, Deathless
Welsh quartet Slate have announced their debut EP Deathless, alongside new single, "Remoter Heaven".
Following their introductory singles, "Tabernacl" and "St Agatha", Slate unveil the brand new release, "Remoter Heaven", which was produced by long-time collaborator Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard's Tom Rees.
Of the track, vocalist Jack Shephard shares: "I liked the idea of writing a very simple narrative to a big, epic song - something as modest as the story of a child playing in some flowers and then bursting into tears when a thorn pricks their leg. The words are an ode to that sensitivity we embrace when we are young. Then, when we become adults, we insist on subjugating all of that wonderful, absurd rage."
Their debut EP, Deathless, is their most ambitious act of storytelling so far. Recorded in one take, the narrative of its six tracks takes place within a single room - or, perhaps, one mind. It begins with what the band feel is some of the darkest material they will ever write, to reaching, in its second half, a place of transformation and epiphany.
Following string of dates opening for Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard, the band play further shows leading into summer including showcases at The Great Escape and Green Man Festival as well as newly announced EP release shows at Cardiff's Clwb Ifor Bach on 31 May and Brixton Windmill on 5 June.
