Slag Genie’s latest release, “Heat of June,” is a sonic time capsule delving into the vibrant days of youth. The track, a heavy hitter, paints a vivid picture of sun-filled summer escapades—running through neighborhoods, drinking from hoses, and infiltrating unsuspecting backyards. The chiming guitars evoke the spirit of classic acts like the Animals and the Seeds, while the driving bass and drums bring a soulful cadence reminiscent of King Crimson and the Doors.
This musical journey is more than a mere song; it’s an odyssey that transports listeners back in time. “Heat of June” invites a reimagining of a once-dull world, now saturated in bright colors. The track’s hypnotic allure even seems to compel a sensory shift, nudging listeners to experience the world with newfound vibrancy.
Building on the success of previous releases like “It’s A Bit Too Far From Here (A Bit Too Far)” and “Take The Ocean,” Slag Genie continues to refine their well-executed garage sound. Hailing from Cleveland, the psych rock outfit, known for their mesmerizing light shows, is gearing up for an East Coast tour with anticipated stops in New York City and Philadelphia. Their music, a beacon of warmth and transformation, resonates with audiences, transcending genre boundaries and capturing the timeless beauty within existence.
