Sluice- "Beadie"

On the debut single "Beadie" from Sluice's forthcoming third album, Companion, due March 27th on Mtn Laurel Recording Co., the melody assembles with the precision of a Piedmont carpenter joining pressure-treated boards amid the sawdust whirl of a midday site, blending earnest and poetic laments of the daily toil with the rawboned drive of 80s Springsteen, all voiced through a beekeeper's veil. But lurking under this straightforward reckoning with love and the grind of gigging for a paycheck is a subtle epiphany: these tunes, shaped by a craftsman's unwavering grip, reveal that even the simplest tasks (nailing down life's loose ends amid its ceaseless buzz) can forge lasting bonds to weather the wear of heartache and hard living.
