Slicker

We All Have A Plan

There’s something weird and wonderful going on throughout Slicker’s fourth release. “God Bless This Mess, This Test We Pass” and “When the Dog Goes Lame” sound like a jazz recital being remixed in real time, the lonely horn bleats fractured by glitch beats. John Hughes III’s chopped-up technique can be maddening–no one likes their grooves skittering, skipping and stuttering when they’re trying to dance. But as a deconstructionist approach to R&B, the album’s cool and inventive, demanding close listens.
