We’ve never heard anything quite like “Slander” by Foyer Red… Their songs are playfully chaotic – featuring plucky guitar riffing, squiggly synth arrangements, dueling vocals, tempo changes, and even a bit of whistling. The first single from their upcoming EP Zigzag Wombat (October 22) is called “Slander” – it’s an ode to a World of Warcraft nemesis who liked to pwn noobs. For such an effervescent song, it’s a fitting subject matter with a charming backstory. Their quirky approach is a bit like Speedy Ortiz, Great Grandpa, or Deerhoof. Fans of any of the aforementioned should check this out for sure.
