The Slackers are back with a new song and, more notably, a new full-length which is set for release "around" April 1 (no joke), via Pirates Press, who has also teamed up with the band for several recent singles.
The upcoming Don't Let The Sunlight Fool Ya is their 15th full-length in total and first in 7 years.
“In the middle of 2020, every time we started doing a livestream, we would stay after and start recording new music. By the middle of 2021, we had an album recorded. A lot of these tunes like 'Don’t Let The Sunlight Fool Ya' were written right after we had just gotten out of lockdown,” saxophonist Dave Hillyard says of the making-of.
After releasing several singles with Pirates Press Records (“Windowland/I Almost Lost You,” “Nobody’s Listening/Sleep Outside,” and “Love I Bring), The Slackers are once again hitting the road all year long to support a new set of tunes and once again have fans around the world put on their dancing shoes for another evening with these renowned musicians. This album is a testament to the age and experience this band has accrued over their 30+ year career. These special tunes will undoubtedly travel far and wide, just like the band will, performing these songs in a club near you!
