Catalog Number: SJ008 Color: Black Format: 12" UPC: 5056167181156 This debut 12" vinyl from Chloe Slater features her first two EPs: 'You Can't Put A Price On Fun' on Side A, and 'Love Me Please' on Side B. In her music, Chloe Slater reports live and direct from the depths of her bruised, beating heart. Replete with socially-aware lyrics, the 21-year-old's songs are rooted in political critique and the pursuit of freedom, the sound of a fearless artist ready to have their voice heard. On debut EP You Can't Put A Price On Fun and follow-up Love Me Please, she has established a blistering sound where distorted guitars and half-sung vocals writhe against each other - masterfully balancing the intensity of her message with a woozy sense of fun. Growing up shy and introverted in the coastal town of Bournemouth, Slater's songwriting started out as straightforward catharsis. After school, the songs of Arctic Monkeys and Wolf Alice would reverberate around her childhood bedroom, while the debut albums from Declan McKenna and Sam Fender - two records that explore complex and potent topics, from youth ennui and online radicalisation to war crimes - offered her "a genuine gateway" into protest music. Tracks like Death Trap and Thomas Street explore growing class disparities in her adopted home of Manchester; Price On Fun discusses how acknowledging one's privilege inevitably leads to reflection and learning. Hook-laden lead single 24 Hours, meanwhile, speaks to what it means to grow up in the digital age - a topic that feels pertinent for an artist who first found their voice on the internet.
