Sly & The Family Drone - Moon Is Doom Backwards LP

RELEASES ON THE 15/11/24

Human Worth are proud to present Sly and The Family Drone’s killer new album "Moon Is Doom Backwards", with a portion of all sales proceeds donated to charity. "Moon Is Doom Backwards", made almost exactly three years ago at Larkins Farm, is a patient, stalking, lurking thing. A properly noir thing, as notable for its long stretches of quiet atmosphere as it is for its pummeling skronk. Sly’s is a strange sort of quietude, though.

A "drums heard through the wall", "disquieting electrical hum" kind of quiet. An "eavesdropping PI", "solo sax on rooftop" sort of quiet. An attention-grabbing kind of quiet so engrossing that, when our fave neo-jazz wrecking crew actually gets to wrecking - and they still wreck real good - we’re caught off-guard, wrong-footed, defenseless. We get run the hell over by The Family Drone’s quintet of bulldozers. The restraint on display here is something else. The band’s approach is more measured than ever, rendering disruptions of their meticulously crafted sonic spaces all the more meaningful. Those sonic spaces contain the architecture of countless cult horror flicks, B movies, midnight screenings, and cable access shows. It's leather and street gangs and switch blades. Total dark side Leonard Bernstein stuff.

Human Worth have pressed up a limited run of ‘Glistening Green' Deluxe Eco Mix Vinyl, housed in a stunning package featuring the art of percussionist Kaz Buckland, with a portion of all sales proceeds donated to charity. "Moon Is Doom Backwards" is the real deal. Sly and The Family Drone are the real deal.

One of the best bands you'll ever see live! - Rich
