Among the many standout tracks from their debut LP 'En Phases,' this one will leave a lasting impression on you. A song that this band calls 'the most laid-back, poppy' is also a song that brings a painful realization that a once passionate and exciting relationship is falling apart.
'Slow Kill' is the sound of gloom, from a band that knows how to create an atmosphere through vocals, instruments and overall production that grapples you with feelings of abandonment, confusion, and deep emotional misery.
Apart from its dreamy and floaty sound, this song features lush, layered instrumentals, soft vocals, and a kind of hazy, almost surreal vibe.
It strikes a perfect balance between being snappy and ambient, with a mix of tight and intense rhythm while at the same time, leaving a space for big, lingering echoes that create a spacious feel.
The band plays in perfect sync, and as the song builds up, it turns into a wild storm of distortion and beautiful chaos. Singing along with all that music is tough, but the singer effortlessly pulls it off.
Hinting towards a relationship starting to fall apart, this song has one of the best interpretations of such a theme, both musically and lyrically.
