Following the release of their critically acclaimed third album “Acts of Fear and Love” last year, Slaves are back with “The Velvet Ditch” a four-song EP showcasing the two sides of the band’s collective personality. The first two songs take on the duo’s more aggressive tendencies, as focus track “One More Day Won’t Hurt” opens the EP with a thrash metal-inspired riff and the brash delivery Slaves have come to be known for. Entering into the second half of the release, the pair display a more contemplative mood through two stripped-down numbers featuring bluesy guitar and ending with a full-on piano moment. On “The Velvet Ditch” the band members are found at their most vulnerable yet. Slaves website can be found here
