Lo-fi pop siblings Slonk and Flat Rufus preview new records with split EP
Bristol brothers Joe and Harry Sherrin - aka solo artists Slonk and Flat Rufus, who also play together in post-hardcore gang Milo's Planes - have released a split EP featuring two tracks each.
Slonk and Flat Rufus both use the Sherrin Split EP to preview their respective full-lengths coming out in 2018.
Ever-prolific DIYer Slonk is following up January's split release with Cagework and his I'm Losing My Mind On The Outside Of Everything EP, which arrived in December. Flat Rufus is a "relatively new project" born from a lonely spell in a South Manchester bedroom-slash-studio - he's preparing to release his album (titled Canton) this summer.
Slonk's "Ladies Mile" is a breezy dose of makeshift maximalism, with piano, guitar, bass, drums, and sparring vocal strands all vying for the top of the musical dogpile - it's rough and raucous, but actually rather sweet. Slonk's second song "Familiar Air" is a totally different beast - it sees the multi-instrumentalist veering into darker realms, with vintage horror movie keys and ethereal blooms of voice and string.
"Follow, Please" - the first of Flat Rufus' pair of cuts - is a sparse, groggy typhoon with walkie-talkie vox and frothy layers of reverb. "Pixels" un-distils the ideas on "Follow, Please", stretching layers and the silence between notes.
Slonk plays London's Old Blue Last tonight (23 March) and Bristol's Old Bookshop on 24 March.
