Slaves supporting The Cribs @ Leeds Arena (Gary Mather / Live4ever)
Currently on tour around Europe, Slaves have premiered the video for their Acts Of Fear And Love album track Magnolia.
Laurie and Isaac play the part of painters and decorators delivering the conformity of magnolia walls as they continue the cycle of an album which Live4ever said, ‘has echoes of some of Greater London’s previous heroes‘:
“The Lives They Wish They Had recalls Graham Coxon’s more frustrated moments in Blur, and the title-track resembles some of that foursome’s experimental elements from their self-titled effort. And, of course, the spirit of The Clash and the Sex Pistols runs throughout. As we all know by now, the band consists of only two members, but like The White Stripes before them the cacophony made is nevertheless impressive.”
