IMPROV

Galli Staff recommended!

SLIDERS are an exciting new instrumental band taking in elements of psych, motorik, dance music, jazz and skronk.

With an emphasis on improvisation, influences range from Tortoise & MMW to Sonic Youth & Can.

Featuring a batch of top Bristol musos, they recently completed an album recorded straight to reel to reel tape by Drezz Dressler and released on local label Pig Records.

Neil Smith – guitar (This is the Kit, The Brackish)
Chris Langton – drums ( Snazzback )
Harry Stoneham – bass ( Waldo’s Gift )
Dan Moore – keys ( Will Gregory Moog Ensemble, Modulus 3 )

'UK Vibe' review..

'Moments of structured groove give way to jagged improvisation, only to resolve in hypnotic motorik pulses or swirling harmonic shifts. The music dances, collides, and coils with a confidence that feels simultaneously wild and meticulously controlled.

The album is not just a statement of technical prowess—it’s a display of character. Each musician’s personality shines without ever overwhelming the collective sound. Standout passages emerge organically, often when the ensemble teeters on the edge of reverb chaos, reminding the listener why live improvisation remains such a vital, thrilling art.

Sliders is a debut that doesn’t simply announce a band—it stakes a claim for a new voice in Bristol’s ever-curious music scene.'
