Slap-Happy

L7

Gritty, independent rock that trades the band's signature sludge for varied tempos, hip hop beats, and a surprisingly melodic, deadpan cool.

Find on Amazon

It's L7 without the major label polish - lo-fi, weirdly melodic, and still cool as hell.

A defiant but weary playfulness that trades raw power for textured, independent grit.

Slap-Happy · vs · L7
Medium Energy-2.2σ

It runs markedly cooler and more held-back than this artist's baseline.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition into the hip hop-inflected beat of 'Freeway' that disrupts the album's rock flow.
The way 'Freezer Burn' pairs a floating, almost ethereal vocal melody with biting, cynical lyrics.
The repetitive, hypnotic drone of the 'Mantra Down' chorus that closes the record on a heavy, circular note.
