New single from Gone Thing EP sessions.

“This is a song we started recording during our sessions for the Gone Things EP. We didn’t finish it, though. We revisited it earlier this year because we’ve been playing the song live, and we realized it was worth going back into the studio to finish what we started. It’s a fun one because Stuart plays lead on the breakdown at the end, and Abby added some glockenspiel and background vocals. Overall, we’re happy with how it turned out.” Chris McCauley

Slack Times, featuring longtime collaborators Chris McCauley, Abby Anderson, and Stuart Norman, focuses on creating jangly, pop songs reminiscent of early Flying Nun and K Records. The band’s first full length Carried Away (Meritorio Records, 2022) boasted a bigger sound with a five-piece lineup. Since 2023, the band has pared back that sound and works as a trio. They recorded and released an EP Gone Things (Meritorio Records, 2024) at Ol Elegante studios in Birmingham, AL, with help from friends Les Nuby and Seth Brown. The band’s newest single “Swing the Dial” is the last track from that session. Chris sang and played 12-string guitar, Abby played drums and added harmonies glockenspiel, and Stuart played bass and lead guitar. The band plans to play a few shows around the Southeast before working on their next full length record scheduled for release early next year.
