about

SLIME RING is the weirdo experimental-pop project of Sebastian Marquez (He/Him), a queer, Latinx member of Atlanta’s music scene and former leader of the Athens, GA-based punk band Dead Neighbors. SLIME RING returns with a highly collaborative heat-check of an EP; owing as much to Steve Reich, Miles Davis, and Radiohead as Yoko Kanno, Yasunori Mitsuda, and the Evergrace OST, Marquez creates music that can be dream pop, improvised jazz, electronica, and shoegaze often all at once.
Explorer Series Vol. 1 represents a break from 2021's SLM_RNG_EP (MBR-082):: instead of writing each song in the release as a brick to build a record with, each song was treated as a self-contained “wall” with no expectation of continuity. In addition, frequent illness during the recording forced Sebastian to seek assistance with using voice on the album. Calling in vocal favors from fellow Atlanta artists Wieuca, Hannah Bo Lecter (Lowtown, Ladybusch), Keron (Vessel), and violinist Lily Zwaan (Scare Quotes), Marquez wanted to create a snapshot of his place in the music scene.
What proceeds is an exploration of “genre” within each song -- shoegaze, dream pop, vaporwave, new internet drum n' bass, hip-hop, and sly minimal afrobeat electronica meld in concert with weirdo jazz spoken word, creating a tapestry that could only be possible in that moment and that place in Atlanta, Georgia. Why? Working on music with friends is more fun!!
