The Curse of Singapore Sling

The mysterious, elusive Singapore Sling credit the Jesus & Mary Chain, Suicide, the Velvet Underground and alcohol as their greatest influences. Their debut album, 'The Curse Of Singapore Sling' is a dark and dangerous aural cocktail mixed from three alternately squalling/furiously riffing guitars, thrusting bass, hypnotically wailing keyboards, primal drums and strategic percussion. Cited by Spin Magazine as one of the brightest young hopes of the Icelandic music scene, Singapore Sling at once celebrate and cross-pollinate the diverse, ambitious artistic vision of the best of the early Creation Records roster, running the gamut from the Mary Chain to Primal Scream to My Bloody Valentine to Swervedriver. Singapore Sling's hypnotic wall of sound simultaneously evokes the era of the Beats, classic 50's AM rock radio and the infinite promise and possibilities of the open road, times when rock 'n' roll was redemptive and pure - all brute, raw power that didn't make sense and wasn't expected to.
