Bicep - SLUG (2xLP)

BICEP officially announce their long-awaited third studio album ‘SLUG’ – an 18-track body of work spanning the full breadth of BICEP’s sonic DNA. ‘SLUG’ is firmly rooted in the unmistakable BICEP sound, while also seeing the duo broaden their musical palette, pushing familiar DNA into new territory. The album is being revealed through an unconventional series of three separate three-track single drops, each accompanied by a unique three-part short film that delves into the worlds of free parties, pigeon fanciers, and demolition derbies respectively.

At the heart of ‘SLUG’ is an invitation to look beyond first impressions. The album’s title was inspired by the stark contrast between the land slug most people immediately picture and the extraordinary colours, shapes and intricate forms of their underwater counterparts. Speaking on the idea, BICEP say: “It felt like an amazing metaphor: you think one thing, but actually there’s a whole world beyond what you initially perceive.”
