Slowthai’s latest offering is produced by Mura Masa, but you’d hardly have guessed it. The scuzzy, lo-fi drive of ‘Doorman’ sounds more like Joy Division mixed with Young Fathers. It’s as raw and as visceral as any Punk track you’re likely to hear, tied together by Slowthai’s brilliantly unhinged delivery. ‘Doorman’ just goes to show the…
Northampton’s Slowthai continues to draw comparison from horror films in the video for brand new track ‘Rainbow’.

The beat comes from Tyron Frampton alongside Kwes…
We’ve been baying for new music from slowthai since we named him ‘One To Watch‘ in 2018, and boy has he delivered. The 23-year-old Northampton native drops off two new tracks; ‘The Bottom’ and ‘North Nights’.
