The SlimP - Wavelands

THE SLIMP are one of these bands whose output is worth a best-of after a few years yet. Last year, the band from Cologne released the compilation "Recall 2003 – 2005" to share a review on their own creations with their growing number of supporters. In 2009, the THE SLIMP are looking into the future again – and the new record shows, that a look back can as well be a look ahead: "Wavelands" sends cosy shivers down your spine like we remember from our favourite bands of the eighties. But the dark-wave band from Cologne sounds a lot fresher than most of their genre-fellows, delivering an album that can easily be a match for the great names of the scene. The songs offer so many diverse structures that not only hardcore wave fans but all true lovers of good music might hunger for "Wavelands". THE SLIMP go beyond striking bass-lines and the "clean Cure-strat", presenting their most homogenous and mature album now.
