Slack Times’ Carried Away<\/em>, which compiled the band\u2019s first three EPs, quickly became one of my favorite purchases of the year<\/a> when it dropped. Its staying power has been impressive, so naturally, I was eager to dive into their fourth EP, Gone Things<\/em>, which just dropped last Friday. The new songs, delivered with a refreshed lineup, do not disappoint\u2014they only deepen my love for the band.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one complaint, it\u2019s that I wish Slack Times would release music more frequently. Gone Things<\/em> has only four tracks, but each one is a quality gem, radiating brightness and warmth. While they all fall under the umbrella of guitar pop, they span different shades \u2014 jangle, garage, and power. Slack Times evoke the shimmering sound of labelmates Stephen\u2019s Shore, but also nod to US garage pop bands like Harlem and Jaill. Songs like the title track and the concise In My Way<\/em> tracks offer the perfect melodic waves to ride.<\/p>\n

Gone Things<\/em> is out now on Cassette via Meritorio Records, who have even more good stuff on the way \u2014 check back this Friday to see what\u2019s next!<\/p>\n
