[1] When Field Music's tour finished at the end of 2010, Ian Black decided to go out on his own and record his debut album.
After years of demoing songs, Black recorded his debut album at Field Music's Roker studio with Peter and David Brewis on production duties.
[3] He toured the record extensively, supporting the likes of FFS,[4] British Sea Power[5] and Dutch Uncles.
The album was composed, produced and played entirely by Black, inspired by a combination of The Residents, John Carpenter and the soundtracks of Don Cherry (particularly Holy Mountain) and Masahiko Sato (particularly Belladonna of Sadness).
[7] During the COVID-19 pandemic, SLUG released a 2015 live recording of a gig at The Hope & Ruin in Brighton as a digital album.
