For the new !!! LP, Thr!!!er, out April 30th on Warp Records, the band has made a conscious effort to break their own mold. Thr!!!er will be the band’s fifth full-length, and much of the record was recorded by Jim Eno, the drummer for Spoon, as well as one of the “key forces behind the boards” for !!!. The band’s past records have often been built around a lot of “jamming on loose ideas”, as guitarist Mario Andreoni would explain it; but for the new LP, Eno challenged the band to break their normal work flow, and in response they came to the recording with everything written. Today, we have some first evidence of what this new approach might sound like, interestingly though, it is one of the few tracks not recorded by Eno. “Slyde”, a sample heavy club banger, finds the band in deeply rhythmic territory crafting their own samples from vocals supplied by singer Teresa Eggers, former Out Hud member Molly Schnick, as well as pitched down vocal inducements from !!!’s Nic Offer. Don’t miss the tour dates below!
