Slaves @ the Bristol O2 Academy, Nov 2018 (Jessica Bartolini / Live4ever)
Slaves have premiered their video for Photo Opportunity.
There’s already been some cracking promos released for tracks from the duo’s Acts Of Fear And Love album, and this has added to the charm of an album which Live4ever named as one of our favourites of 2018; “Although succinct at 9 tracks (considerably shorter than Take Control’s 14), Acts Of Fear And Love isn’t just all ferocity,” our review reads.
“Ellie Rowsell of Wolf Alice makes an appearance on Daddy, adding her usual breathy vocals to a lament (by Slaves’ standards) about the pressures of fatherhood. Structured only around a meandering guitar, it’s a pleasant draw of breath after the bludgeoning of the senses provided by the opening numbers.”
“Recent single Chokehold has the lyrical content of a ballad, singer/drummer Isaac Holman dealing with the age-old themes of how fragile the male ego is in the aftermath of a broken relationship.”
