Slushy Guts

Slushy Guts is the musical alter ego of one Stephen Keane, who also operates as a well-known artist & illustrator under his Chaos Vs Cosmos moniker. Armed with a only guitar, a dinky keyboard and a furrowed brow, his music is the sound of late nights and early mornings; stripped-bare 4-track bedroom recordings made in the gray dawn light. It’s introspective, wry, poetic stuff not unlike that of Mark Kozelek or Mt Eerie, albeit a beyond lo-fi version, with the guitar playing tape-hiss bringing to mind early John Fahey.
Slushy Guts has released a series of very limited homemade CD-Rs, all illustrated beautifully, of course. After shows warming up for Idiot Glee and Future Islands, he’s becoming a regular presence on the LDN live circuit, so you should have plenty of chances to catch the live show over the coming months. Make sure you wrap up warm – this is a pretty cold place to be.
Slushy Guts play The Others (6/8 Manor Rd) 18 November with Hounds of Hate and Girl Mountain
