Eric Slick - New Age Rage

After 15 years drumming for Dr. Dog, recording and performing with Taylor Swift, Waxahatchee, The War on Drugs, Kevin Morby, his wife Natalie Prass and many more, scoring Hilary Swank’s The Good Mother and releasing solo records hailed as “a crackpot singer-songwriter fantasy” (Rolling Stone), Eric Slick reaches his most honest, hilarious, provocative and productive on New Age Rage. Following the apocalyptic dance party of “Lose Our Minds,” and recent single “Anxious To Please” – an arena-rock anthem for self-acceptance, delivered alongside a VR video of dancing aliens and absurdly buff dudes – “New Age Rage”further shows his ability to pack ominous premonitions into relentlessly palatable, irresistible melodies. Across the rest of the album, the Philly-born, Nashville-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist takes on self-driving cars, mass media manipulation, the climate crisis and more, as well as personal issues of seeking perfection, living in the moment and being accepted, unmasking what it means to be human in a world that increasingly values the artificial.

In addition to Demi Adejuyigbe, New Age Rage features collaborations with producer Andy Molholt (Speedy Ortiz), mixer Jeremy Ferguson (Be Your Own Pet, Lambchop) and co-writer Kyle Ryan (Kacey Musgraves), as well as artwork by EYヨ (of Japanese band BOREDOMS), and contributions from Natalie Prass, Diane Coffee, Finom (fka OHMME), Liam Kazar, mmeadows, VV Lightbody, Kimaya Diggs, members of Butcher Brown, Deep Sea Diver and more.

This spring, Eric Slick will present the music at a series of theatrical, experiential shows from coast to coast, in between dates drumming for Dr. Dog and Kevin Morby. Find his list of headline tour dates at ericslick.com and contact us with any requests!
