Psych-rock project hailing from Los Angeles S//P (pronounced ‘slip’) brings us Head On Backwards. Co-produced by Taylor Brown and Jules De Gasperis, the track channels the sounds of Tame Impala and Beach House to create this progressive and quirky indie electro work. S//P is the solo endeavour of Taylor Brown, the former bassist for LA rocker Vanaprasta and Sun Drug, with the promise of a full length release in the works.
Brown enlisted the help of several contributors including the modulating panned guitar work of Andrew Martin of Moon Honey, which kicks in as the track reaches it’s trance-inducing crescendo. On the name, Brown has said, “What I like about the name is that the materiality of the text matches the meaning of the word — ‘s//p’ looks like it’s literally slipping away from itself before course correcting at the end. Also, I like the way it looks. I could have picked a, you know, traditional ‘word,’ I guess, but those are all basically taken. Feel the collective naming-a-band-in-2017 pain.”
