London based four piece Dead Slow Hoot has just released a new track (check our previous feature on them here) – the alt-country “Moistest Beak” rocker has a bittersweet warmth and poetic lyricism that you’ll love. Distorted lead guitar plays an infectious melody while a clear toned backing guitar bends and wails like pedal steel, creating a ambiance of large factory spaces and aged industrial humming while accents of banjo add a flannel warmth to the track. The imagery is pushed further with the measured, warbly vocals that sing of unchanging machinery that is proudly resilient to the outside world. Ancient stories and making mistakes that create unforeseen yet fruitful outcomes, all of which evoke images of youth in a small rural town with stubborn history that imprints as much as it needs to be rebelled against. “Moistest Beak” culminates with a crescendo, a powerful finale washes you in big open post-rock guitar feedback and pierces your heart with howling vocals.
