Feb 2022 slothcore slothcorerepublic slackbot robot-revolution rectal-anarchy naps jeskola buzz
It has been a long time since I've collaborated with the infamous Slackbot. In the interim, it seems he's started his own band called Slackbot & The Sloths. They have become one of the premiere #slothcore bands in Canada, or so Slackbot tells me… which, you gotta take everything he says with a metric ton of salt.
At any rate, this song features FAWM's most popular Buzz Machine, the always requested Rectal Anarchy by FireSledge. The Rectal Anarchy is the source of the "bubbling synth" sound that is the main melodic phrasing of the song. 7900's Pearl Drums give us the drum beat & Slack's wonderful vocals are c/o Analogue X's amazing SayIt (which created the original WAV files) & were then played back via a Matilde 3 Tracker machine in Buzz. Finally Cyanphase's wonderful Vibrasynth adds the texturized "Melodic" bit that appears a couple of times throughout the song.
So yeah, this was made with 100% native Buzz machines. Woo-hoo! Some reverb & stereo mixing, as well as some other Buzz tricks, & you have this odd little #slothcore piece. I hope you enjoy it.
See You In The Shadows…
p.s.: No Robots or Sloths were injured in the making of this track.

Slothcore upon which all other slothcore will be judged. This is insanely amazing.
@dzdandcunfsd Feb 2022
Slackbot is scary :D I love this lyric, absolutely hilarious... man this got almost frustratingly slow, made it feel like it was about an hour long LOL.... but I'm all for it. Some excellent nap placement!
@howthenightcame Feb 2022
great song, could have been a bit slower!!
LOVED the uncomfortable pause around 1m30s... and 4m...
@heliosonorous Feb 2022
Great one! Like the robots are falling apart as they slow down, the slow groove is really catchy and the lyric choices are well done!
@captainvulpine Feb 2022
Hahah This is marvelous! The 10bpm has a sort of calming effect on the brain. So frustrating yet so therapeutic. Forces one into an arena with their own demons. Yet just when you think you're out of it;
S L O W E R.
Brilliant. Hell, this is half an album.
It was so exciting when it picks back up towards the last half hour, that I almost thought "Whooooaa, slow down there fella".
@bachelorb Feb 2022
Sloths will inherit the earth!!!! Love the lyrics, but I love the pauses better!!!!
@tuneslayer Feb 2022
Genius, I tell you.
(insert long long loooooong pause here)
Genius.
@elesimo Feb 2022
Love the lyrics! This is such a great sonic experiment, I love it!
@beat Feb 2022
OH YES!
…and it gets even slo..w…..e……..r
The breaks are slothational!
A real slow joy. Thx.
@kenficara Feb 2022
Slow and dirty indeed. This sounds like Kraftwerk on kwaludes.
@looprication Feb 2022
How is this the only track on FAWM tagged with #rectal-anarchy ??? Oh wait it's a VST... hmm. Never mind :)
Wow that dropout at 1:30 - gotta put on my slothcore hat and reset my expectations lol. That robot voice is great, OK now the dropout at 3:40 I was ready for. Love how you show us behind the curtain by posting screenshots of your Jeskola Buzz setup - it's like a fascinating foreign language, I can't write it or speak it but I can kinda read it ;)

Slothcore is so adaptable, right?!?
So many possibilities.
I've never thought about robotic sloth music before.
Or funny Slothcore.
"We will all be losers" lol
Yeah, great lyrics here, made even better by the voice.
"Slow it down" lol
And it does!!!
The continued slothiness is making me laugh.
That's quite a nap!!!
This track made me smile the whole way through.
Thank you for this genre.
So great.
