Slim Twig has been a fixture on the Toronto scene for a few years now, and to his credit, he’s always followed his muse wherever it takes him. In the case of his latest release, Thank You For Stickin’ With Twig it`s taken him to some interesting places, sonically speaking.
The entire album exudes a sort of woozy psychedelia with a strong melodic foundation running through it, like a narcotized, slightly bent version of classic rock songwriting. Also, I have to give it up to Slim for what I can only assume is the use of wood-based punnery in his album title (stick/twig). Check out “Fadeout Killer” off the album. It’s a good one.
Slim Twig plays The Horseshoe Tavern on Wednesday, October 21 with Crosss and Drainolith.
