Slothrust's  principal  songwriter,  singer,  guitar  player  and  unrepentant  aesthete  Leah  Wellbaum,  with  drummer  Will  Gorin  and  bassist  Kyle  Bann.  On  their fourth  full-length  albumThe  Pact,  Slothrust  constructs  a  luscious,  ethereal  cosmos  perforated  with  wormy  portals  and  magic  wardrobes, demonstrating  more  clearly  than  ever  the  band’s  deft  shaping  of  contrasting  sonic  elements  to  forge  a  muscular  sound  that’s  uniquely  their  own.The  album  was  recorded  in  LosAngeles  with  producer  and  mixer  Billy  Bush  (Garbage,  Neon  Trees,  The  Boxer  Rebellion).Cultivating  their potent  brew  of  classically  informed,  soulful  rocking  the  fertile  Brooklyn  indie  scene,  Slothrust  released  their  debut  LP,Feels  YourPain,  in  2012,  followed  by  2014’sOf  Course  You  Do.  The  band  expanded their  fervent  following  via  the  song  “7:30  am,”  selected  as  the  theme for  the  FX  Network  show  "You’re  The  Worst”.  Their  2016  Dangerbird  debut  album Everyone  Else established  the  band  asa  breed  apart,  capable  of serving  up  deceptively  clever  epics  that  veer  satisfyingly  between  incandescent  riffing  and  pop  hooks,  winsome  anxiety  and  powerful  heft.Throughout  2016  and  2017,  Slothrust  lit  up  audiences  on  sold-out  headline  tours,  festival  dates  and  support  tours  with  Highly  Suspect  in  the  US  andManchester  Orchestra  in  Europe.  The  band  closed  out  2017with  Show  Me  How  You  Want  It  To  Be,  an  EP  of  of  unexpected  and  inventive  covers  of  songs  by  artists  as  diverse  as  Al  Green  and  Britney  Spears,  Black  Sabbath  and  Louis  Armstrong.
