Track of the week - Wipers by Blue Slate
Blue Slate's new single Wipers is a track written between shows on their busy gigging schedule during 2022. It mixes a heavy wall of hazy guitar sound with ethereal vocals and a pulsating rhythm section, culminating in a lush mix of guitars and synth. Wipers marks a new, more focused direction for the band and a breakaway from their early, grungier sound.
The four members are John Harney (Vocals/Rhythm Guitar/Lyrics), Pierce Devine (Lead Guitar), Dillon Carville (Bass) and Jay O’Neill (Drums). Together since the early months of 2022, they have been busy playing shows all over Ireland promoting Wipers. Drawing from a wide range of genres, the foursome create a unique heavy soundscape of sludgy yet dreamy & melodic riffs with intricate breakdowns.
