Langhorne Slim

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Something of a one-man mixture of the Cramps, Beck's early indie records (circa One Foot in the Grave), and the soundtrack to {#O Brother Where Art Thou}, singer and guitarist Langhorne Slim offers a sardonic, modern take on traditional folk, country, and blues. Fancifully dubbed "the bastard son of Hasil Adkins" in some of his early press releases, Langhorne Slim is in fact a Pennsylvania native who resettled in Brooklyn after his graduation from the State University of New York at Purchase. After a self-released demo garnered some local and online ...[more]

 

 

Be Set Free is Langhorne's most cinematic and cohesive effort to date. Slim has truly reached a point of light where these songs come from wide-eyed maturity and mastered craft. One of the most endearing and standout qualities of Slim's live shows is the sureness that one is always entering a genuine gospel-like musical experience full of little miracles. Be Set Free has captured this charisma and spirit- the "hold your heart" moments and "raise a drink" dance vibes shien throughout with lush    [ read more ]

After gaining a loyal NYC fan base with unforgettable showmanship, Slim is set to release his much-awaited debut. Slim's anti-folk-rock captures the same fucked up backwoods feel of early Beck -- and with a voice to boot. His humor-honest, his lyrics-smart, and his lovin-so deep & cheddar-filled.

The debut album from gifted song man Langhorne Slim reissued including five previously unreleased songs! That's 20 tracks of heartbreaking, foot-stompin', and shuffling blues, country and rock'n'roll flavors. Includes a couple of backing players on upright bass and drums. "Langhorne Slim expertly walks the line between the sublime and the subterranean. At once raucous and reverent, his old-timey country blues is tempered with the occasional outburst of punk rock insolence indicating that there may just be a   [ read more ]

Langhorne's songs come out of American vernacular music -- the race and hillbilly sounds that peaked in the '20s and '30s in what Greil Marcus so famously called 'the old, weird America.' Well, Langhorne makes music for the new, weird America. It's not like it's political music, it's just that we live in intense times and Langhorne brings it all back home in the form of music.

It would be easy to mistake Langhorne Slim for yet another neo-folkie with a song to sing if it were not for the shear exuberance of his performance style on When the Sun's Gone Down. His strained, high, and always intense vocals provide the first clue that this guy isn't another New England singer/songwriter on the make. He kicks off with the energetic, upbeat "In the Midnight," a little ditty accompanied by a frantic drumbeat and a jaunty banjo. Slim's also joined by a group of singers w   [ read more ]
