SLUG's Thy Socialite is out on Friday and it's Amazing Radio's album of the week! 🙏 🙏 🙏
It's only a matter of time til he wins a Grammy. Or an Oscar. Olympic gold?

The inaugural release of Daylight Saving Records, the label set up by Field Music’s David and Peter Brewis, is the third album from Ian Black’s Slug. Inspired by great fanbase-alienating records from throughout music history, ‘Thy Socialite!’ is Black’s distinctive take on sleazy glam-metal, classic rock riffing and AOR.

'Thy Socialite!' is our Album of the Week! We are playing it, in full, this Friday, at 2pm, on Amazing Radio.

It's just ONE WEEK till the release of SLUG's latest meisterwerk Thy Socialite! In the new MOJO Kieron Tyler compares it to Todd Rundgren's A Wizard/A True Star: "Fashioned by a knowing intellect with so much going on within that it must be allowed to escape." And who are we to argue with that?
Order it now! Or maybe tomorrow!

If you're into community poetry projects and you enjoyed that new song of mine, you can read about both right here:

"Figuring that out made me feel like a proper composer for at least twenty minutes."

Off the back of announcing forthcoming solo album ‘The Soft Struggles’ (out February 2023 via Field Music’s Daylight Saving Records), David Brewis talks us through new single ‘The Last Day‘.
