Album Review : Slingshot Dakota - Heavy Banding

Musician : Slingshot Dakota
Album : Heavy Banding
Date Release : May 24th 2019
Publisher : Community Records/Specialist Subject/Stiff Slack










This I can say is the first time for writing for one of my favourite band, Slingshot Dakota. As the stories written, ranging from year 2004 the band has so far produced 5 full lengths and by the number itself we can conclude that this band can be catagorized as a productive band. Personally the first hook up to me with the band is via the album 'Dark Hearts' that released on 2012 by Topshelf Recordings. The album contains so much personal favourites like Cassette, Disaster, etc.
And I guess this album has remarked the sound changes of the band which previously you can hear a full band instrument on the earlier works but starting from this full length they embarked into piano+drums tunes that resulting into a poppier tunes that produce afterwards. I mean the changes, in my honest oppinion, has resulted a positive changing for band's sounds and this what them distinct and more characterize from any other indie/punk musicians.
Since months ago as the band announced its fifth album, I personally cant wait and having a positive vibe about the result of the album. And yes the result itself has fully fulfill my expactation about the album. Comparing from their earlier work on 2016 entitled 'Break', the album 'Heavy Banding' has a much more favourable result. The album contains so much gewd tunes that I can recomend you some such as Blood Villain, Louder, or Casino Night, some other that you have to listen to. This album totally prooves that the band could make a milestone of themself beneath the scene that always updating its wave.
The album is released by three different labels on three different continents such as Community Records for the US distribition, Specialist Subject for UK & Europe distribution, and Stiffslack for Japan and Asian distribution. Its also available anywhere digitally (Bandcamp, Spotify, Deezer, etc). Hopefully the couple would have a honey moon by Asian touring someday soon?! Lol! Lets hope for the best!
