Company

Company is the debut album by Slime, the nom-de-plume of producer and multi-instrumentalist Will Archer. At a time when electronic music feels dominated by bombast and hype, these ten elusive, unsettling and emotional tracks offer a master-class in nuance and sincerity. Coalescing into one unique statement, Company is as distinct and fully-formed as any debut album in recent memory. It feels borne of that same late-night 3am spiritual culture that defined late 90s electronic/instrumental hip-hop: songs that are large, but personal and private. Slightly in the shadows, but impossible to miss. Archer knows there s power in silence and restraint, because it makes you lean closer to hear.
