Cosmic Slop
A gritty, psychedelic descent into urban gothic funk. Heavy fuzzed-out guitars meet soulful harmonies to tell stories of survival, war, and spiritual struggle.

Cosmic Slop is the sound of the psychedelic dream curdling into the harsh reality of the 1970s inner city. It is a dense, murky, and profoundly heavy record that trades the space-age whimsy of later P-Funk for a grounded, gothic grit. The music feels like it was recorded in a basement where the walls are sweating, characterized by Garry Shider's soulful but pained vocals and Eddie Hazel's scorched-earth guitar work. It is funk, but it is funk that has been dragged through the mud and baptized in the blues, resulting in a sound that is as physically demanding as it is emotionally taxing.
