Honey Slides by Adam Gnade & Youthmovies

The Adam Gnade and Youthmovies EP Honey Slides was written on tour in England, improvised during drunken collaborative sets, and recorded on a chilly, gray day at Oxfordshire's Warehouse Studios while a bottle of port and spliffs (for certain band members) were passed around the room. A full-on culture clash, the music is like an American marching band playing an early 2000s British rave. Thumping micro-house morphs into a psychedelic brass band while landscapes of android ghost beats emerge from luminous pools of ambient noise. The vocals bark and yelp in ecstatic tones. Ideas and images cycle back, flashing brief visions of haunted wilderness, rising seas, decadent youth, faith healers, urban decay, and midnight carnivals in torch-lit clearings. A new animal born to six mothers, an engaging, weird, dancy, absorbing, freaked-out electronic pop tapestry.

Adam Gnade's (guh nah dee) work is released as a series of books and records that share characters and themes; the fiction writing continuing plot-lines left open by the self-described "talking songs" in an attempt to compile a vast, detailed, interconnected, personal history of contemporary American life. His work is released by Bread & Roses Press, the Numero Group, and Three One G.
