Slim Twig mixtapes up for grabs
This guy is a piece of work. I'm sure you'll agree, once you've downloaded and had a listen for yourself.
Slim Twig is out with the second volume of his infamous mixtapes series, to kick off a new string of North American dates (below).
Download the Spit It Twig! Mixtapes Series Vol. 1 & 2 here.
A little history for y'all:
As a nod to the hip hop mixtapes he loves, Spit It Twig! began with Vol. 1 released in advance on Contempt! 'as a skeletal blueprint' of his debut album by creating a sample-based album, a la Wu-Tang Clan, combined with his own style of vocals. Some of the tracks from Spit It Twig! have also been popping up in Slim's live shows of late. As Slim Twig himself puts it:
"Spit It Twig Vol. 2 represents my commitment to the free mixtape format I admire so much in artists like Lil Wayne & the Clipse. This time I decided to stretch out my repertoire in directions both more overtly hip hop ('This Night's Untold' & 'More Mercy, Miss Percy'), and even more abstract ('The Pink Room', 'Perfect Pitch'). This mix also features more collaboration than any of my other releases with contributions from Dirty Beaches, Onakabazien, D-Sisive and a (one-sided-career-fullfilling) collab with David Lynch. The diversity of Spit It Twig Vol. 2 was meant to reveal my intention & future direction with tapes which is to periodically expose experiments, and spontaneous ideas to those who are curious... all for a great price."
Great price indeed.
