Slauson Malone 1 is just about to release EXCELSIOR, the N.Y.C artist's third solo album and first under his new moniker (previously, it was just "Slauson Malone"). Out October 6 via Warp Records, EXCELSIOR will feature the Song You Need "Voyager," "New Joy," and now the newest single "Half-Life."
Whereas "Voyager" continued to pull on the experimental jazz threads that Malone 1 relied on for his previous group Standing On The Corner, like "New Joy," "Half-Life" explores space-age, moody indie rock. After a swelling orchestral introduction, "Half-Life" veers into tense post-punk, its guitars creaking and flickering in ways reminiscent of the Calgary band Women. Hear the song in the lyric video below.
