Langhorne Slim
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]

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.
