Sluff – Regain filmed and directed by Gabriel Hyden

Regain, a fatalistic guitar-driven urban happy/sad song, with its voice interesting and frail at the same time breaking out of dissolving relationship patterns. A hymn about closure, inward departure and opening up – against the impossibilities of interpersonal relationships and the late capitalist world situation. As if struck by lightning, one whirls around in the distance of time and space, only to recover, to grow again. A cathartic mood as a signal of maturity and determination, while mixing certainty and doubt, but the effect is one of connection. Regain is harbinger of upcoming album World Wide Worries (FALL 2021).

Sluff send a strong guitar-driven signal of maturity and determination, in the cathartic slacker mood that has served them well over the last years. Debut album On Debris (2018) and EP Constructions (2016) oscillated between scrutinized self-assessment and desperation, it was not only a finding to oneself in terms of content, but also musically. After turbulent times for the band, Sluff – in a new and grown formation – immersing themselves in a grander, even more melodic touch, grown surer with experience. A lush production counters their fictions, evoking a certain generational dislocation with pop appeal. Upcoming LP World Wide Worries (FALL 2021) taps into the very specific emotions of something universal with well tailored lyrics and leavens the gloom a little with the perspective of age. Sluff’s newest full-length is wrought with emotional disconnection, epic sweep and intimate catharsis.
