Slaves @ Live At Leeds 2017 (Gary Mather/ Live4ever)
Slaves‘ have confirmed the details of their third studio album.
Acts Of Fear And Love – a title inspired by a conversation between Isaac Holman and his college teacher – has been set for release on August 17th as the successor to 2016’s Take Control.
“Anger at the mundanity of life might not be new either, nor is trying to express this through music, but the sheer honesty and reality of Slaves in how they approach these vignettes of misery paint some of the best snapshots of modern life you could imagine,” our Take Control review concluded.
“And now, with their enlarged musical pallet, it’s impossible not to be amazed by just how exciting this record is.”
Isaac and Laurie have also added some small UK shows to their July festival appearances, the next of which is Roskilde tomorrow.
