SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: SLIM TWIG – THERE’S A SECRET TO YOUR PLEASURE

Slim Twig
There’s A Secret to Your Pleasure
Calico Corporation

The ever-talented Slim Twig magicman has done it again with his release of an eerily catchy single. The two sided 7” takes the brooding yet homey feel of Johnny Cash and adds a healthy dash of psychedelic vibes. If Slim Twig’s hometown of Toronto had a modern day speakeasy, this would definitely be its theme song. While There’s a Secret to Your Pleasure picks up on the creepy feel of a Halloween musical, Slim Twig used the B-side (“Pastiche”) to tell a story about the legendary Mael Brothers. Both tracks do however try their hardest to showcase how many intriguing elements of sound and harmony can be used to create a swinging-good single. The self-produced Slim Twig keeps in the right direction with this single, and we’ll all be holding our breath to hear his collaboration with U.S. Girls.
