‘As I Fear The Ground Opening’ represents the anxious rush when the bubbles start to rush and your time of total freedom reaches its inevitable end it’s frantic drum patterns scoring an intense scene, trancey atmospherics enticing you to keep turning the corner. A cathartic release to heavy isolation, the album opens with ‘deep in the forest, a sacred pool’ - angelic tones and tranquil chords symbolising a melting in the ocean, the contemplative silence that comes when one puts their head beneath water, shutting out the outside world. I think that the album has this schism represented in it with the more classically "nice" tracks standing next to the more aggressive and expressive tracks it is both an escape and capturing of the world we live in.”ĭesigned to have inward-gazing and aggressive tracks side by side - to represent the day to day mood swings that only extensive isolation can bring - the record is a tripped-out voyage through rich, flora-drenched ecosystems and Halo ring worlds. I was lucky enough to be quite secluded in the first lockdown around a lot of nature, but then feeling the isolation ten-fold as I was so far away from civilisation.
“It was a way of me both building another world whilst also expressing the strife of the world that we were living in. “The main idea was to think 'what would an outside observer to our planet think when looking down at this moment in time, what does the moon think when looking down on us?'” he says. The artist's debut LP - What Would I Do With Saturn - arrives on Lobster Theremin on Friday 2nd July and demonstrates Slacker’s killer ear for capturing the cross-sections that exist within UK sound floating between the artist's drum & bass upbringing and introspective, world-building electronica. But still, the feature is nice addition to Slacker's fast-growing tool belt.Following the release of Twisted Heads comes Slacker’s most complete work to date. So far, My Vibe seems to have fewer playlist suggestions than Songza. For instance, as I write this, I'm listening to a playlist that was suggested for someone who is working in the office on a Friday afternoon. From there, it gives you a menu of options that may or may not match your activity or mood. Similar to Songza, My Vibe starts by offering you a few suggestions based on the current day and time. New to Slacker's arsenal and available to all users is a nifty feature called My Vibe, which helps you find the perfect playlist to match your mood or activity. Both subscription packages also come with lyrics for most songs. With a Slacker Premium subscription ($9.99/month), you'll get on-demand music listening so you can search for and listen to the exact songs and albums you want (similar to Spotify).

With Slacker Radio Plus ($3.99 per month), you'll be able to save station caches for later listening even when offline. If you want to take advantage of playlist caching or music-on-demand features without ads, you'll need to sign up for a subscription.

The ads can be a little annoying, with full 30-second commercial spots at the beginning of listening to a station.

Much like Pandora, the free version of Slacker Radio is ad-supported and lets you search for a song and then create a station of similar music based on that song. A skip button is available for moving on to the next song, but you get limited skips per session (only six at the time of this review). You'll be able to fine-tune your station requirements while it plays as well as create custom stations. The controls to pause, skip, save, and remove an artist from your playlist are located at the bottom of the interface. While playing a track, Slacker lets you look at both album art as well as artist bios and album reviews (for most songs and artists).
