"Perpetual Doom EP"

Slackeye Slim is either on or off. At least, that's how it looks from the outside. Very intense and productive periods are followed by introversion and silence. The activity level is hard to follow since the artist's social media activities are on/off. However, Slackeye Slim has apparently been busy lately. A cover EP is coming out, he is working on a new musical project, and also working on a film score. In this blog post we will focus on the EP. It will be released by Perpetual Doom Records. Slackeye Slim writes on his website: "I'm calling it the Perpetual Doom EP because, well, isn't perpetual doom a good way to describe how the rational among us feel anyway?... The Perpetual Doom EP is a collection of six cover songs that I reworked and adopted as my own. I've wanted to record a handful of covers for a long time, but I didn't have a reason to do it until I was asked by Perpetual Doom. It ended up being one of the most fun projects I've ever done. It allowed me to think about the songs and artists that were the most influential to me and reimagine these songs as though I wrote them." The covered songs are an odd bunch: "Cowboy Dan" (Modest Mouse), "Cold Cold Ground" (Tom Waits), "Heel on the Shovel" (16 Horsepower), "Climbing Up the Walls" (Radiohead), "Anthem" (Leonard Cohen) and "Mack the Knife" (Kurt Weill via Louis Armstrong). Slackeye Slim continue on his website: "For this EP, I recorded everything through a shitty old Shure mic preamp that I found in the dump in Wisconsin a long time ago and recently fixed at my kitchen table. The EP has got a nice lofi quality throughout and I'm very happy with how it all turned out." I'm trained according to the inverted pyramid model. It helps to arrange content logically and keep the reader focused on the main message. Information should be arranged in order of importance. In the text from Slackeye Slim the most important message comes last: "Oh yeah, and I'm still slowly writing for a new album. Like I said, I've been busy. Stay tuned. This is going to be a good year in the Slackeye Slim camp."
