Slates
by The Fall
Intentionally priced to avoid standard album taxation rules, this release captures Mark E. Smith's sardonic songwriting at its most acerbic and literary. The band utilizes a jagged, two-drummer attack that leans heavily into repetitive, motorik-inspired rhythms. The frantic intellectualism on display significantly influenced the emerging landscape of British independent music.
