Slagroom

Slagroom, meaning ‘whipped cream’ in Dutch, plays out like the cover art, a gleaming, saccharine dollop in a claustrophobic soiled cubicle. The album (all boy/all girl's sophomore LP) was recorded and mixed by experimental/noise purveyors, Machines With Magnets (Lightning Bolt, The Body, Lingua Ignota). The 7-piece band wrote the material in a vacant basement beneath a pawn shop in the lower east side of Manhattan, leading to a singular style of avant-pop that contains the freneticism of New York City. It was accompanied by a vinyl release with a fast-food inspired receipt insert leading to an "interactive customer survey" that quickly goes off the rails, equal parts 2001: A Space Odyssey, philosophy, and modern consumerism.

Impose LP Stream: All Boy/All Girl - Slagroom

"On Slagroom, the band has created an album that is profoundly epic, yet still concerned with the local things like urban sprawl or a food court Arby’s"

Clash Premiere: All Boy/All Girl - 'Pastels'

"Whimsical, off kilter songwriting, the group have ties to both the classical realm and the punk world, with their wide-open approach absorbing numerous left-field influences.... gorgeous songwriting, with those classical flourishes underpinning a truly wonderful vocal delivery"

Gold Flake Paint First Watch: All Boy/All Girl - "Pastels"

"Setting the otherwise buoyant music against a backdrop of warped, eerie and often spectacular visuals. Intertwined with the string-led, wonderfully inventive new track, the whole thing stands as a mesmerising introduction to the new record"

Rookie All Boy/All Girl: Voyeur

"With a theatrical, acoustic sound that darts between experimental and pop, the band infuses contemporary classical and rock elements into eclectic arrangements that are easy on the ears and soul"
