SLUG unshackles sonic beast "Cockeyed Rabbit Wrapped In Plastic"

25 September 2014, 18:19 | Written by Laurence Day

SLUG has just released his debut single for free download. It's a corker.

"Cockeyed Rabbit Wrapped In Plastic" is ebullient math-y noise. Combining Sparks' macabre eccentricity with Marmaduke Duke's frivolous axe mayhem and R&B falsetto, it's a bewitching - if not utterly bonkers - opening gambit.

Ian Black, formerly of Field Music is the mastermind behind SLUG. Live, he's backed by David and Peter Brewis, Andrew Lowther and Rhys Patterson.

Listen to "Cockeyed Rabbit Wrapped In Plastic" below, or download free here. You can also peek at the upcoming tour dates beneath the stream.

October:

20 – Lexington, London
21 – Brighton, Prince Albert
23 – Leeds, Belgrave Hall
27 – Manchester, Night & Day Café
28 – Glasgow, Broadcast

(all dates supporting Hyde & Beast)
