The Slackers - Peculiar LP + 7"
SKU: PPR231
Description:
These New Yorkers have been skillfully crafting their signature
gospel of roots-reggae-ska fusion for over 30 years, and in doing
so rightfully earning a reputation as one of the most engaging live
bands in the world. Back in 1996, the NY Times declared the
Slackers to be part of “the sound of New York”, a mantle they
haven’t given up since.
Originally released on Hellcat in 2006, "Peculiar” has remained
timeless, continuously heralded as a true testament to their energy
on stage and what makes them such a treasured band by fans across
the globe. Alternative Nation called it “protest music made for
dim, sweaty basements - The Slackers would sound at home supporting
Rancid just as well as some grizzled New Orleans electric blues
trio.”
While Peculiar isn't a proper live album, the band managed to turn
a club into their studio and truly strike a balance between their
incredible live show and their equally impassioned studio work. The
rhythm parts of the album were laid down during a live performance
at renowned Dutch ska club Ernesto’s (in Sittard, Holland), with
vocal overdubs added later in the studio.
The setlist also includes tracks from their previous War Criminal
EP, reinterpreted, reframed, and played quite differently from
their original release. Peculiar ranks right up there with Redlight
and The Question as one of the Slackers' best - certainly one of
the most played and cherished albums in their arsenal. Pirates
Press Records is proud to have teamed up with the band to bring you
this incredible expanded gatefold version of Peculiar, including a
bonus 45 carrying two additional tracks from the project not
offered with the original Hellcat release. Hope you’ve got your
dancin’ shoes on!!!
