TheSlang + Musician in Alexandria, VA

SEEKING

ABOUT

Offering a distinct blend of power-pop, alternative, and contemporary rock, DC-area duo The Slang are comfortable testing genre lines and taking their time to capture the minutiae of modern life. With a laid-back intensity that infuses their music, lead vocalist/multi-instrumentalist John serves as main songwriter while bassist/multi-instrumentalist Felix focuses on production. Both artists share a kind of low-key perfectionism: hands-on, hyper-attuned to textural detail, and aware of what elevates a song from good to great. “We want to do it right,” says John. “And we’re willing to do whatever it takes to make the best possible track each time.”
